History
This station was founded as "WANM" by B.F.J. Timm as a 10,000 watt AM daytimer broadcasting on a frequency of 1070 kilohertz. Beginning regular broadcast operations in August 1974, the station aired an urban radio format for the African-American community in Tallahassee. The call sign reflected the fact that Tallahassee is home to Florida A&M University. The station's broadcast license was held by WANM, Inc.
