History

On June 3, 1953, the Federal Communications Commission awarded Norris B. Mills and Douglas J. Turner, doing business as the Colquitt Broadcasting Company, a construction permit for a new 1,000-watt, daytime-only station at Moultrie.^[3] The station signed on that November and increased power to 5,000 watts in November 1954.^[4] WMTM-FM 93.9 was added on November 17, 1964;^[5] five years later, Turner bought out Mills's stake in the station.^[6] The station aired primarily country music with some contemporary hit radio programming.^[7]

Douglas Turner died in 2000.^[8] After Doug's son Donnie died in 1996, Donnie's son Jim took over operations.^[9]
