Page "WAMO (AM)" Paragraph 3

This station began as WRML, and had operated as a daytime-only station for much of its history since signing on back in the early 1960s.

Through the years and format and callsign changes, ( usually between country and oldies ) it finally received nighttime power authorization in the early 90's, allowing it to operate at night with a limited power of 88 watts.

Though successful financially in its earlier years, the station and its FM sister, then known as WZGO, experienced a sharp decline in the mid 80's, as did the local economy, in part due to the collapse of the region's rich steel-producing and coal-mining industries.
