01History
The station began operations November 1, 1948, as WKDN. It was originally owned by Ranulf Compton, and was a 1,000-watt, daytime-only station that broadcast middle-of-the-road music. The call letters became WTMR after the station was sold separately from WKDN-FM in 1968. By the early 1970s, WTMR's power had been increased to 5,000 watts. In 1975, the station began phasing out pop music in favor of religious programming. It was granted a license to operate at night during the 1980s.
