On today’s show, I welcome researcher/historian/author Tim Dills to the show to talk about Tennessee in the Spring of 1975. We discuss the television stations, the markets and towns, the hot wrestlers and programs plus other facts about the huge geographic Tennessee Territory in 1975 in a pre-cable television business environment.
