WANT FM 98.9 and WCOR AM 1490

08/14/2026

In 2005, the Wilson County Fair created a lasting legacy with the heartfelt dedication of our WCOR radio station in Fiddlers Grove.

Standing proud at the Ward Ag Center in Fiddlers Grove, local radio is far more than a signal on a dial—it is the living heartbeat of our community. This satellite station was built in 2005 and dedicated to BILL BARRY, the first voice broadcast on WCOR in 1949. and MARK DYER. the originator of the Fiddlers Grove Bluegrass Show in 1995.

It was donated to Fiddlers Grove in 2005. it stands as a shining beacon of connection and culture. Here’s to honoring our roots, inspiring our future, and keeping the vibrant spirit of Wilson County broadcasting strong!

We are all missing the Legend on Saturday nights—The Fantastic Fred Anthony! 📻✨

With fair time upon us, we coordinated with Fred's family to share a sampling of his accomplishments in our display case inside the Wilson County Farm Bureau Expo Center.

There were lots of laughter and tears as we pared down the massive amount of memorabilia! Be sure to stop by and check it out. Did you know Fred was also a composer? Was friends with James Brown? We’ve got the proof! And it's right there beside our autographed Charlie Daniel's Fiddle. 🎶📜

Let us know your favorite item in our case! 💖📻🎙
