History

WARM has a long and distinguished history in northeastern

kHz during its early years.[4] The station was an affiliate of the ABC radio network since the 1940s. After Citadel Broadcasting bought ABC Radio Networks in 2007, WARM became an ABC Radio O&O station. Citadel merged with Cumulus Media on September 16, 2011.[5] The station used to derive a portion of its programming from Scott Shannon's The True Oldies Channel.[6]

For a time in April 2009, WARM left the air due to transmitter problems; the station then announced that it had no plans to return.

Cumulus sold WARM to Major Keystone on September 24, 2021.[12] On January 19, 2022, after completing the purchase, Major Keystone resold WARM to Seven Mountains Media, and replaced the sports programming with a simulcast of Seven Mountains-owned classic country station WLGD, branded as "Bigfoot Legends".[13]
