Programming
Most programming comes from Infinity Sports Network. WNML-AM-FM are the flagship radio stations for both the Tennessee Smokies Southern League Baseball radio network and the University of Tennessee Vol Network. The stations also carry Knoxville Ice Bears games in the Southern Professional Hockey League.
History
The station signed on the air on January 5, 1989.[3] Its original call sign was WLOD-FM, and its city of license was Loudon, Tennessee. It was owned by Dick Broadcasting, with Allen Dick serving as the chief executive officer. In 1991, WNOX-AM-FM and WIVK-FM were acquired by Citadel Broadcasting, which later merged with current owner Cumulus Media. WLOD-FM changed its call letters to WNOX-FM.
Over the years, formats included smooth jazz ("Double 99", simulcast with WNDD) and urban adult contemporary (X-99). Later, WNOX-FM started simulcasting talk radio station WNOX 990 AM.[4][5]
