W.A. Wilson, former chief telegraph operator for Western Union's Bristol office, came up with the plan for a radio station when he spent several years selling and installing radios. His son James C. Wilson worked at WOPI and later bought the station which is now WJCW. An early show on the station was "WOPI Jamboree", which featured live country music. In the 1940s WOPI and WKPT formed a network called "the Sister City Network" for broadcasting local information.[3] WOPI-FM signed on Christmas Day 1946 as the area's first FM station. It was sold to the owner of WKYE in the 1960s and is now WXBQ-FM.[3] In 1966, owner Tri-Cities Broadcasting Company successfully requested that the FCC change the city of license to Bristol, Tennessee-Virginia.[3] In 1990, WOPI was bankrupt and Joe Morrell bought the station. Morrell wanted to increase the amount of country music on the station, bringing it back to its roots. Later, WOPI joined the WKPT network.[3] TranslatorIn addition to the main station, WOPI is relayed by an FM translator to widen its broadcast area.[4] {{RadioTranslators| call1 = W251CJ | freq1 = 98.1 FM | fid1 = 27506 | watts1 = 250 watts | haat1 = 70 | class1 = D | city1 = Bristol, Tennessee | notes1 = }} References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www1.arbitron.com/sip/displaySip.do?surveyID=FA13&band=am&callLetter=WOPI|title=Arbitron Station Information Profiles|accessdate=January 23, 2014|work=Nielsen Audio/Nielsen Holdings}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://transition.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/amq?call=WOPI|title=WOPI Facility Record|accessdate=January 23, 2014|work=Federal Communications Commission, audio division}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|url=http://www.wopi.com/oldsite/history.php|title=History of WOPI-AM|accessdate=June 1, 2017}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://transition.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/fmq?call=W251CJ|title=W251CJ Facility Record|work=Federal Communications Commission, audio division}} External links
