WSML
ESPN Radio affiliate in Graham, North Carolina, United States
WSML (1200 AM) is a commercial radio station in Graham, North Carolina. The license is held by Alamance Media Partners and it airs a classic country radio format branded as Maverick 95.1-94.3. The studios are on University Drive in Burlington.
By day, WSML is powered at 10,000 watts non-directional. Because 1200 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for WOAI San Antonio, WSML must avoid interference at night. It reduces power to 1,000 watts and uses a directional antenna with a 4-tower array. Programming is also heard on two FM translators: 94.3 W232DT in Mebane and 95.1 W236BO in Burlington.
History
WSML signed on the air on December 2, 1967. The station was a daytimer operating at 1190 AM, owned by Smiles of Graham, Inc. a division of Radio Smiles group of Raleigh.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “WSML” as eSPN Radio affiliate in Graham, North Carolina, United States. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as eSPN Radio affiliate in Graham, North Carolina, United States. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7955777. Authority coordinates are 36.150, -79.913. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1200, 1967 and 1190.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
