WLAC (1510 AM) – branded Talkradio 98.3 & 1510 – is a commercial talk radio radio station licensed to serve Nashville, Tennessee. Owned by iHeartMedia, the station covers the Nashville metropolitan area. The WLAC studios are located in Nashville's Music Row district, while it transmits from a three-tower facility in the city's Northside neighborhood. In addition to a standard analog transmission, WLAC broadcasts an HD Radio signal utilizing the in-band on-channel standard, is simulcast over a digital subchannel of WSIX-FM, WRVW, and on FM translator W252CM (98.3 FM), and is available online via iHeartRadio. WLAC operates around the clock at 50,000 watts, the highest power authorized for AM stations in the United States. It is one of two clear-channel stations in Tennessee, the other being WSM in Nashville. A single tower radiates the transmitter's full power during the day to most of Middle Tennessee. At night, power is fed to all three towers in a directional pattern that limits its signal toward the west to originally protect KGA in Spokane, Washington (which has since downgraded its night signal) and to the northeast to protect WMEX in Boston. Even with these restrictions, it can be heard across much of the eastern and central two-thirds of North America with a good radio. Programming Weekdays begin with The Tennessee Star Report, from 5 to 8 a.m. The rest of the day, WLAC carries a typical slate of mostly nationally syndicated conservative talk hosts, including Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Clyde Lewis and Coast to Coast AM with George Noory, from the co-owned Premiere Networks. Other syndicated shows include Nashville-based Dave Ramsey, Houston-based Michael Berry and This Morning, America's First News with Gordon Deal. Weekend hosts include Joe Pags and Leo Laporte, in addition to Vanderbilt University Commodores football and basketball games, during their respective seasons. In 2021, it became the flagship radio station for the long-running EIB Network, featuring The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. History Early years WLAC has traditionally traced its founding to November 24, 1926, the day the station made its first broadcast under the WLAC call letters. However, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) records list WLAC's "Date first licensed" as September 11, 1925, reflecting the initial license date for station WDAD, which was consolidated with WLAC in 1927. WDAD was first licensed in September 1925 to "Dad's Auto Accessories (Inc.)" at 160 Eighth Avenue, North in Nashville, on 1330 kHz.
