after 540 AM dropped its pop

Now called 540 Country, the Mount Wilson Broadcasting-owned station will bring in several DJs from KZLA-FM as staff and will air the Grand Ole Opry. Jones, Kristofferson to Play Carnegie Hall

"I think we were one of the first, if not first, country shows to go in there. ... We had a great time. The place was packed and sold out," Jones said.
