History

On December 30, 1960, Jerry Tucker of WNOO interviewed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. just before the civil rights leader gave a speech at Chattanooga's Memorial Auditorium.[1]

On January 1, 2006, WTUN started simulcasting with WNOO after its classic country format was moved to WNGA. After a few months of simulcasting with WNOO, WTUN 101.9 then changed their calls to WOCE and is now a Spanish-language broadcaster.

On May 16, 2019, a city construction crew accidentally hit a guy wire to the station's tower causing it to crash down and knock the station off the air. The station set up a temporary tower so it can operate at reduced power and the station continued to broadcast via streaming audio. The city is paying for a replacement tower.[2]

gollark: It *does* say >=5.5GPa there. That's pretty high pressure.
gollark: It's vaguely weird how the whole cultural thing of guns and whatnot is completely absent here in the UK, because of the "ban everything remotely dangerous" attitude here.
gollark: In the picture I mean.
gollark: There are some numbers on what looks like a power supply.
gollark: I really wonder about those people with 15GB.
