Oldest Radio Station in Texas

WRR in Dallas is the oldest commercial radio station in Texas. The station, which is based in Fair Park, has been in operation since 1920, when it was largely used for police and fire dispatch. Today the station, known as Classical 101, plays Bach, Beethoven, Bartok, and the like.

It is interesting to note that WRR only has three call letters. This is due to the fact that the station was established so long ago, when four letters were not yet necessary. I also find it interesting that the callsign starts with a "W." This is because "W" denoted west of the Mississippi in the early days of radio. 

Yesterday I learned that WRR Classical 101 has included my signing of Waylon County: Texas Stories on their event calendar. Here's to the oldest radio station in Texas!
