WBTM is an adult contemporary formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Danville, Virginia, serving Southern Pittsylvania County in Virginia and Northern Caswell County in North Carolina. WBTM is owned and operated by Piedmont Broadcasting Corporation.
On January 1, 1940, after Lynchburg Broadcasting Corporation gained managerial control of WBTM it began exchanging programs with WLVA in Lynchburg, Virginia, for four hours daily via newly installed lines that connected the two.[1]
In addition to the main station, WBTM is relayed by an FM translator to widen its broadcast area.
