	WSB-FM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When it took to the airwaves, WSB-FM initially broadcast under the ID "WSB 99 FM", shifting to "WSB 98.5" due to an Arbitron ratings clash with WARM (now WNNX) 99.7 in the mid-80s.
		WSB-FM shares a tower with WPBA TV 30, and in fact shares the same antenna with WSTR FM 94.1 and WVEE FM 103.3.
		It is the only Atlanta FM radio station to share call letters with TV and AM radio stations.

	Atlanta Radio History
		FM became the preferred band for music listeners by the early eighties.
		Atlanta's first commercial AM radio licensee was WSB, which stood for "Welcome South, Brother." The station was put on the air in 1922 by the Atlanta Journal.
		As networks began to lead the new medium in its first decade, WSB became an NBC affiliate in 1927 and then increased to 50,000 watts in 1933, landing on the 750 AM position.

	Atlanta Area FM Radio Stations
		FM 104.7 was used to simulcast the night games of Ga. Tech sports in the area not covered by WCNN.
		The "Light FM" format appears to be an automated Clear Channel format that uses "voice tracking." That is, the on-air chatter has been pre-recorded for later broadcast.
		At one time, no two FM stations could be owned by the same owner if their interferrence free contours overlapped (1 mV/m or 60 dBu).

	Georgia State University Library - Special Collections & Archives - Popular Music Collections - Atlanta Radio Broadcasting Collections
		WSB Radio, the first radio station to broadcast in the city of Atlanta, was "born" on March 15, 1922, when it went on the air for the first time at a power of 100 watts.
		The WSB Radio Records contain correspondence, memos, news clippings, publicity materials, program log books, photographs, artifacts, and sound recordings dating from 1922 through approximately 1984, and covering such topics as the history of WSB Radio, performers and programs offered over the air, and radio's response to the advent of television.
		Both The Journal and WSB were purchased by Governor James M. Cox of Ohio in 1939; WSB is still a property of Cox Broadcasting Corporation, which was formed when Cox operations reorganized in 1964.

	Atlanta Radio Time Warp 1968
		It was rumored that he was forced to retire from WSB in the early '80s when Cox made massive changes in the formats of the two stations that he had sucessfully managed for so long.
		With new studios and FM transmitter atop Peachtree Center in downtown, the stations were the class act of Atlanta broadcasting.
		WSB carried University of Georgia football, the Braves, the Hawks, NBC news on the hour, NBC Monitor on the weekends, and a cornucopia of music, news, and information programs.

		Bob was among the first to realize the importance of fringe FM stations that would later move their antennas closer to the big city and dramatically increase the stations serving metro Atlanta.
		In the 1970's she technically was not a WSB employee, but her voice was on WSB mornings and afternoons as the second traffic report supplied by MARTA.
		David Paul was the man WSB turned to in the transition from old-style radio to the new modern era.

	fcc97107.txt
		As for FM stations, Cox states that there are 24 FM stations with principal community contours that overlap those of the radio stations Cox proposes to co-own, and that there are 11 Class C stations in addition to WJZF and two Class C1 stations in addition to WSB-FM.
		Cox does explain, however, that WZKD, the children's FM radio station, is not a commercial success, ranking 45th out of 51 reported stations in Arbitron's Winter 1996 survey of the Orlando market with an average quarter-hour share of only 0.1.
		These FM stations are only four of 27 FM stations in the Orlando-Daytona Beach Radio Market, including nine other Class C stations, four Class C1 stations and three other Class C2 stations.

	A selection from a decade of visits to tower and studio sites in the Northeast and beyond
		WSB's long history is far from forgotten, though; in the hallway leading from the lobby to the WSB-TV studios, a series of display cases highlight the station's past, including the chimes that were said to be the model for the famous NBC "G-E-C" musical signature and the childrens' show puppet that inspired Toy Story's Woody.
		That's because WSB's home, on this same piece of land at 1601 W. Peachtree, was an antebellum-style mansion known locally as "White Columns" in honor of the, yes, white columns that decorated its facade.
		WSB radio does its own traffic reporting from here as well, rather than farming it out to Metro or Shadow, as has become common in most other markets.

		In order to meet WSB’s business needs into the next century, the facility is being designed to accommodate current and developing technologies, including high-definition television (HDTV) with second-channel digital broadcasting.

		A two-story-high lobby will serve as the main entrance to WSB’s new facility.

	WSB-TV
		WSB radio had long been affiliated with NBC, and the TV station naturally took that affiliation at sign-on.
		James M. Cox started the station; he also owned WSB radio and the Atlanta Journal.
		WSB-TV is the second-oldest station south of Washington, DC, going on the air on September 29, 1948.

	Mystique of the Three-Letter Callsigns
		FM and TV were developed in the 1940s and 1950s, and obviously the new services needed callsigns.
		NOTES: Some of these FM and TV stations, because there is no longer an AM station using the three-letter call, have gotten permission to drop their -FM and -TV suffixes, and been assigned true three-letter calls.
		After a short period of requiring FM and TV stations to have unique calls, the FCC decided to allow stations in the same market to have the same call as sister AM stations, provided they added an "-FM" or "-TV" suffix.

	A selection from a decade of visits to tower and studio sites in the Northeast and beyond
		WSB's auxiliary tower holds the STL dishes that point back to the studios on West Peachtree; we're told the ground system is tied into the shopping plaza buildings, which are faced with brick that complements the WSB fortress.
		And so it was that the open farmland that surrounded the WSB tower ended up covered in the asphalt of a parking lot, with a Toys "R" Us and an OfficeMax perched at the ends of the guy wires.
		An office park just northeast of the interchange where 400 meets the Perimeter, Roddy pointed out, is crowned with the antenna bays of one of the many Atlanta-area FM move-ins that have helped alleviate the shortage of FM signals in town in recent years.

	Atlanta Area AM Radio Stations
		WSB is one of the most annoying to listen to stations in the area.
		When WSB abandoned its 'When News Breaks Out, We Break In' promo, WGST started using it, despite the fact that WGST talk hosts used to make fun of WSB by misquoting their promo as 'When News Breaks Out, We Break Wind.' Now, both stations are using the promo.
		WSB later put "the squash" on the latter as WBIE's 10 kW signal began to infringe on the growing northern suburbs.
