Built by a 16-year-old high school student named Jack DeWitt; the first radio station in Nashville went on the air in 1922. Three years later; DeWitt helped start WSM; arguably one of the nation�s greatest radio stations; and in 1950; he and WSM put Nashville�s first television station on the air. Over the years; Nashville has had its share of local radio personalities; such as Noel Ball; Coyote McCloud; and Gerry House; as well as television personalities like Jud Collins; Bill Jay; and Larry Munson. Nationally recognized stars such as Dinah Shore; Oprah Winfrey; Pat Sajak; and Pat Boone started their careers in Nashville as well. Here are the stories and images of the people heard on transistor radios and the programs�including Five O�Clock Hop; Ruffin� Reddy; and The Mickey Mouse Club�watched by children while they did their homework.
