"Bristol Broadcasting Company" is a radio station chain operating 29 stations in four Southern United States markets: the Tri-Cities area of upper-east Tennessee and southwest Virginia (receiving its name from the twin cities of Bristol, Virginia, and Bristol, Tennessee), Marion, Virginia; Paducah, Kentucky; and Charleston, West Virginia.[1]
In each market it operates a country music station with a rabbit mascot and the slogan "24 carrot country", a Top 40/CHR station under the title "Electric" or "Hot, and every News/Talk station carries the name "Super Talk".
