WNSR (560 AM) is a Nashville-area Class D radio station operating on the AM frequency of 560 kHz. WNSR's majority owner is Randolph Victor Bell, and the station's general manager is former WSM personality Ted Johnson. The station broadcasts a mixture of local and national sports events and local and national sports talk shows. It once served as the "backup" affiliate of the Nashville Predators NHL team, originating their games when the then-primary affiliate, WGFX-FM, had a conflicting commitment to the Vanderbilt University sports network. The station was also the former home of Nashville Sounds baseball, Nashville Metros soccer, Vanderbilt Commodores football games, and Vanderbilt Commodores men's basketball games. WNSR is currently the home of Vanderbilt women's basketball games and Vanderbilt baseball games. The station broadcasts Major League Baseball games as a member of the Atlanta Braves Radio Network. History The station converted to its current format in 1996, with the call letters WYOR (later WHEW), when all-sports programming began its meteoric rise in the North American radio market, particularly on AM stations. It was previously affiliated with ESPN Radio; however, in 2005, ESPN moved its affiliation to WNFN (then WNPL), an FM station. WNSR is currently affiliated with CBS Sports Radio.
