History
WELO began broadcasting on
May 15,
1941, on South Spring Street, Tupelo, above the Black and White dry goods store. Some local talents were involved in starting up the station, among them the announcer
Charlie Boren and the bandleader and radio technician
Archie Mackey. The hillbilly star of the station in 1946 was a twenty-three-year-old native of
Smithville, Mississippi, Carvel Lee Ausborn, who went by the name of
Mississippi Slim.
Ernest Bowen, who had tangential musical connections with
Elvis Presley, became a longtime general manager at WELO. Presley occasionally performed on Mississippi Slim's radio program "Singin' and Pickin' Hillbilly."
The station now plays an
Adult Standards format, supplied by the
Music Of Your Life network.
