Lee Dorman

Lee Dorman, an author and broadcaster who resides in Nashville, is not to be confused with the late Lee Dorman who was a well-known musician and bassist with the rock group Iron Butterfly. This Lee Dorman is still alive and active in radio, as a co-owner and General Manager of WQKR AM/FM in Portland, Tennessee. Starting as a teenager with his own low-power radio station and broadcasting after school every afternoon, Lee went on to a 64-year career which included being General Manager of historic WLAC in Nashville, and later founding the Tennessee Radio Hall of Fame, to honor the state’s favorite broadcasters. Along the way, he authored two books for Arcadia Publishing: NASHVILLE BROADCASTING in 2009, and NASHVILLE’S JEWISH COMMUNITY in 2010. Married to his childhood sweetheart for 56 years, Lee and his wife Faye have three children and six grandchildren. In addition to managing WQKR, he is working on two more local history books he hopes to finish in 2022.
