WKMQ (1060
History
The station went on the air in 1973 with the call letters WJLJ. It ran a top 40 and a country format during the early 1980s. In the mid-1980s, the station changed to a contemporary Christian music station as "Christian Radio 1060 WCFB".
After a change in ownership, the station changed to urban/R&B Format as "PowerMix 1060" with the call letters WPMX on November 30, 1990, which was the beginning of the urban/R&B format in the Tupelo area, which then transferred to WESE (92.5 FM) and evolved into "92.5 JAMZ" and currently "92.5 The Beat".
On April 18, 1994, the station changed its call sign to WWZD and simulcast its sister station WWZD-FM "Wizard 106.7".
On November 1, 1995, the station became news/talk with call letters WNRX, and on May 1, 2000, to the current WKMQ.[2]
WKMQ airs Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh.
