WLAC NASHVILLE is a fictional dramatization of the late night WLAC disc jockeys who played Rhythm and Blues during the 50’s through the early 1970’s. The 50,000-watt radio station beamed its signal to over 15 million listeners in 38 states and overseas. These deejays influenced a new generation of young men and women, black and white and launched the careers of many R & B legends, paving the way for Rock and Roll.
Hoss Allen, John R., Gene Nobles, and Herman Grizzard have all passed away. But as sound goes on forever, their words remain out there, traveling at 50,000 watts, as the music they played continues to inspire future generations.
