WZOB (1250 AM, "Number One Country 1250") is a radio station licensed to serve Fort Payne, Alabama. It is owned by Central Broadcasting Company, Inc. and broadcasts country music format.[2]
Originally owned by Glenn M. Gravitt, the station opened July 2, 1950.[3] The call letters, WZOB, came from Zella Octavia Buttram, the daughter of Johnny Buttram (an advisor to Gravitt and brother of Pat Buttram, the well-known radio and TV comedian), and were requested from and assigned by the Federal Communications Commission.[4]
The Louvin Brothers album Songs That Tell A Story is drawn from songs recorded live on a morning WZOB show in the 1950s.
