It was reorganized as a stock company and adopted the National Life name shortly after. Known for its creative marketing development, National Life began WSM radio in 1923. Taking its call sign (WSM) from the company's motto We Shield Millions, the station began to broadcast advertising from inside the National Life office building in downtown Nashville. Not long later, in 1925, the popular and historic Grand Ole Opry show began on WSM making country music mainstream.
