It was originally named W47NV, began broadcasting in 1939, and in 1941 became the first commercial FM station in the nation.[5][6] It was launched by Edwin Wilson Craig of the National Life and Accident Insurance Company (NL&AI) together with chief engineer John DeWitt Jr. as a replacement for experimental AM short-wave station W4XA.[6] WSM-FM operated as a radio station in Nashville until 1951.[6] W47NV was initially broadcast on 44.7 MHz, before becoming WSM-FM and switching to 100.1 and then 103.3 MHz by 1948.[7] The station operated for about 10 years, until NL&AI realized that few area households had FM radio receivers and thus commercial potential was lacking. NL&AI shut down WSM-FM in 1951 and returned the license to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The company's AM station, WSM (which it owned until 1981), and television station WSM-TV (now WSMV-TV), both had commercial success. NL&AI is now defunct, though its television station and AM station continue under different ownership. References1. ^Chronology of F.M. broadcasting.
