WIDD


1520 AM WIDD signed on the air from Elizabethton, Tennessee in November 1964.  Beginning in 1975 the WIDD call letters were also used for a sister station at 99.3 FM.  The AM half carried a Country format while the FM was a Gospel/Religious station.  

In 1978 WIDD was involved in a lawsuit after they aired the song "The Ballad of Jarvis Stout."  Stout was a Carter County constable arrested for drunk driving.  The county sheriff and a dispatcher co-wrote the song which was played on WIDD as their "Pick Hit of the Week."  Stout sued them along with the radio station, the studio where it was recorded and a newspaper which featured a front page story about the recording for "false and defamatory matter" that is "so outrageous...as to go beyond all bounds of decency."  I was unable to find out the results of this lawsuit.
