WLAR, 1450 went on the air in May of 1946, one of only two radio stations between Knoxville and Chattanooga.   This photo appeared in the Daily Post Athenian in 1946, and features Mr. Max Robinette, "chief announcer" of WLAR.  It was taken in the brand new original studios on North Jackson St. in downtown Athens.
