History

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]
