WIGN (1550 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Bristol, Tennessee, United States, and serving the Tri-Cites area of Tennessee and Virginia. Owned by Mountain Music Ministries, LLC, the station broadcasts a format of Bluegrass Music, Southern Gospel Music and Christian talk and teaching.
By day, WIGN is powered at 35,000 watts non-directional. But 1550 AM is a Canadian and Mexican clear-channel frequency. So to reduce interference, WIGN must greatly reduce nighttime power to 6 watts. WIGN also broadcasts on a 250 watt FM translator, 92.1 MHz W221EC.
History
On August 16, 1962, the station first signed on the air. It was originally a daytimer, required to go off the air at sunset. It later received low-power nighttime authorization. For much of its history, it has broadcast a mix of Classic Country, Southern Gospel and Bluegrass music.
