    WEMM-FM (107.9 FM, "Gospel 107.9") is a Southern Gospel and religious formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Huntington, West Virginia, serving the Huntington/Charleston area. WEMM-FM is owned and operated by Bristol Broadcasting Company.

    Programming

    [edit]

    WEMM-FM broadcasts a Southern Gospel and Religious format to the Tri-State Region.[5] This format includes sermons from area pulpits, national Bible teaching ministries, and Southern Gospel music.[6][7] The station also airs a radio simulcast of the WSAZ NewsChannel 3 Six O'Clock newscast on weekdays.

    History

    [edit]

    WEMM was first established on September 6, 1971, and has since then maintained its current Gospel format.[6] The station signed on as the third station on the Tower of Faith Radio Network.[8]

    Former logo

    The call letters were changed to WEMM-FM on February 2, 2004,[2] when an AM sister station (then known as WHRD) was made a simulcast of the FM signal and its call sign was changed to WEMM.[9] That simulcast arrangement ended and the AM station's callsign was changed to WRWB in September 2008 but the FM station remains at the WEMM-FM callsign.[9]
