It was also announced at this time that the company planned to installed a transmitter and rooftop antenna at the Realty building, to be used for "sending out concerts, big speeches and other entertainment to those who own home outfits within a radius of 200 miles [320 km] from Charlotte".<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Early_years">Early years</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=WBT_(AM)&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Early years"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Little-Long_Company_crystal_radio_advertisement.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/32/Little-Long_Company_crystal_radio_advertisement.jpg/220px-Little-Long_Company_crystal_radio_advertisement.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="377" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/32/Little-Long_Company_crystal_radio_advertisement.jpg 1.5x" data-file-width="302" data-file-height="518" /></a><figcaption>Little-Long Company advertisement for a crystal radio receiver capable of picking up WBT's programs (October 1922)</figcaption></figure> <p>Initially there were no specific standards in the United States for radio stations making transmissions intended for the general public, and numerous stations under various classifications made entertainment broadcasts. However, effective December 1, 1921, the Department of Commerce, the regulators of radio at this time, adopted a regulation that formally created a broadcasting station category, and stations were now required to hold a Limited Commercial license authorizing operation on wavelengths of 360 meters for "entertainment" broadcasts or 485 meters for "market and weather reports" (833 and 619 kHz).<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The Southern Radio Corporation was issued a "provisional" broadcasting station license, with the randomly assigned call letters WBT, on March 18, 1922, which authorized broadcasts on the 360-meter entertainment wavelength.<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> WBT made its first broadcast four days later on March 22.

The first program was given last night and several stations in this section are known to have picked up the Victrola music broadcasted." This article further described the "wireless telephone broadcasting station" as "the first station that has been erected and put in active operating condition in the Carolinas.

In the morning hours of September 22, 1989, the high winds from <a href="/wiki/Hurricane_Hugo" title="Hurricane Hugo">Hurricane Hugo</a> severely damaged two of WBT's towers and nearly killed then-Chief Engineer, Bob White. The FCC approved WBT to operate at 25,000 watts with a non-directional pattern for the next year while the two damaged towers were rebuilt. </p><p>A single tower radiates the transmitter's full power during the day. Its daytime coverage area is not nearly as large as those of other 50,000-watt stations due to the Carolinas' poor ground conductivity; some outer suburbs such as <a href="/wiki/Statesville,_North_Carolina" title="Statesville, North Carolina">Statesville</a>, <a href="/wiki/Shelby,_North_Carolina" title="Shelby, North Carolina">Shelby</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Salisbury,_North_Carolina" title="Salisbury, North Carolina">Salisbury</a> only get a grade B signal. Despite this, it provides at least secondary coverage as far north as the eastern <a href="/wiki/Piedmont_Triad" title="Piedmont Triad">Piedmont Triad</a>, as far west as the eastern portion of <a href="/wiki/The_Upstate" class="mw-redirect" title="The Upstate">the Upstate</a>, as far east as the <a href="/wiki/Pee_Dee" title="Pee Dee">Pee Dee</a> and as far south as the <a href="/wiki/Columbia,_South_Carolina" title="Columbia, South Carolina">Columbia</a> suburbs. Under the right conditions, it can be heard well into the more mountainous areas of the Carolinas, as well as the Sandhills. At night, power is fed to all three towers in a directional pattern to protect <a href="/wiki/KFAB" title="KFAB">KFAB</a> in <a href="/wiki/Omaha,_Nebraska" title="Omaha, Nebraska">Omaha, Nebraska</a>, which also operates on 1110 AM and employs a similar directional pattern that protects WBT to the east. Despite this, it can be heard in parts of 22 states, including almost all of the eastern half of the continent. </p><p>Despite its clear-channel status, WBT was long plagued by marginal nighttime coverage in some parts of the Charlotte area, especially the western portion, due to the need to adjust its signal at sundown to protect KFAB.
