Description

Life at the northern plains was once lonely within the early 20th century. Farmers and ranchers went for weeks without hearing any voices instead of the ones in their families. Then, in 1922, Al Madson, proprietor of a Yankton radio parts shop, made a radio transmitter. He formed a broadcasting company, and on November 25, 1922, WNAX broadcast its first program. Other folks of the northern plains now had a day by day “visitor.” Gurney Seed and Nursery Company owned the station for its first 16 years, adding distinctive innovations to its programming. In its constant commitment to agriculture, the station has influenced the history of the five-state area it covers. Lawrence Welk were given his start there. Wynn Speece, referred to as the Neighbor Lady, still broadcasts day by day after starting at WNAX in 1941.
