WETR (Talk Radio 92.3/AM 760) is a daytime-only talk radio station in Knoxville, TN that broadcasts on 760 AM and its FM translator at 92.3 FM.

Because it shares the same frequency with WJR in Detroit, Michigan, WETR-AM operates during the daytime hours only. WETR’s FM translator (W222BA/Karns, TN) operates 24/7, but with a smaller coverage area over Central and East Knoxville.

Programming

As “Knoxville’s Talk You Can Trust,” WETR airs a line-up of conservative news and talk, featuring a local morning program called “Real News” with host Grant Henry.

Syndicated programs include daily shows This Morning with Gordon Deal, The Glenn Beck Program, The Ben Shapiro Show, The Dave Ramsey Show, The Lars Larson Show, The Dennis Prager Show, and George Noory’s Coast To Coast AM.

Hourly news updates are provided by Fox News Radio.

Beginning with the 2019 season, WETR became the flagship station for the Tennessee Smokies radio network.
