WZOB (1250 AM, "Number One Country 1250") is a radio station licensed to serve Fort Payne, Alabama. The station is owned by Central Broadcasting Company, Inc. It airs a country music format.[1]

Originally owned by Glenn M. Gravitt, the station opened July 2, 1950.[2] The call letters, WZOB, came from Zella Octavia Buttram, the daughter of Johnny Buttram (an advisor to Gravitt and brother of Pat Buttram, the well-known radio and TV comedian), and were requested from and assigned by the Federal Communications Commission.[3]

The Louvin Brothers album Songs That Tell A Story is drawn from songs recorded live on a morning WZOB show in the 1950s.
