History

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]
