WKMG (AM)

The station signed on May 22, 1968, with a country music format.^[4] The license transferred from Service Radio Company, Inc. to Durst Broadcasting Company, Inc. on January 1, 1989,^[5] and from Durst to Cornell Blakely^[3] on March 20, 2001.^[6]

WKMG was deleted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on December 2, 2011, for failure to file for the renewal of its license, which expired a day earlier. The license was reinstated on December 15, 2011.^{[citation needed]}

On October 4, 2017, the FCC informed WKMG that it believed the station had been silent for over a year and ordered the station to provide its full operational status since August 9, 2011; in attempting to inform WKMG on May 10, 2017, of unpaid debts it owed to the commission, FCC staffers discovered that license owner Cornell Blakely^[3] had died on December 2, 2013, and that WKMG's phone number had been disconnected.^[7] After the FCC's notification was returned as undeliverable, the WKMG license was cancelled on November 9, 2017.^[8]
