KMAM is 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.[3] The station was assigned the call sign "KMAM" by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).[4]

Programming

KMAM broadcasts a full service country music format, including programming from Citadel Media, in simulcast with sister station KMOE (92.1 FM).[5] In addition to its music programming, KMAM airs local news, farm and market reports, ABC News Radio, a daily obituary report, and a tradio program called Swap Shop. Sunday programming includes Gospel music, local church services, Gun Talk Radio, plus news and sports updates.[6]
