    WKAM 1460 AM is a radio station broadcasting a Regional Mexican music format. Licensed to Goshen, Indiana, the station is owned by I.B. Communications, LTD.[2] The station also broadcasts on translator 98.1 W251AR licensed to Goshen, Indiana.

    History

    [edit]

    WKAM was established in Warsaw, Indiana, with the awarding of a construction permit to Kosciusko Broadcasting Corporation for a 250-watt, daytime-only radio station on December 22, 1948.[3] The station went on the air July 11, 1949,[4] and remained in Warsaw until 1954, when it was approved to move to Goshen, change frequency to 1460 kHz, and increase power to 500 watts.[3] The move to Goshen was in part because the city had no radio stations despite having a larger population than Warsaw, which was also served by WRSW.[4]
