KMAM (1530 AM, "The Bullet") was an American radio station licensed to serve the community of Butler, Missouri. The station's broadcast license was held by Bates County Broadcasting Company. KMAM had been owned and operated by members of the Thornton family since it was founded in 1962.[3]
KMAM was a "daytimer", licensed to operate only from local sunrise to local sunset to protect radio stations KFBK in Sacramento, California, and WCKY in Cincinnati, Ohio from skywave interference.[4] The station was assigned the call sign KMAM by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).[5]
