History

WISM-FM first went on the air in November 1991 with a classic rock format and was owned by Alpenglow Communications. The station was bought[2] by Clear Channel Broadcasting Licenses, Inc., but was then sold to Aloha Station Trust, LLC. The station was sold again in 2016 to Mid-West Family Broadcasting for $970,000.[3]

On July 1, 2016, coincident with the sale to Mid-West Family Broadcasting being consummated, WISM-FM changed its format from adult contemporary to classic hits, branded as "Greatest Hits 98.1". The specific programming was transferred from WDRK, upon that station's donation from Mid-West Family Broadcasting to Blugold Radio LLC.

gollark: Why are *those* your two options? What?
gollark: Anyway. Median American families are not actually you[citation needed]. You have different preferences and different requirements. Consider them.
gollark: Also, £103/year on reading? That's only something like 15 books.
gollark: Just determine some reasonable amount of things to get for yourself and donate/save excesses, I guess.
gollark: You should not let yourself be bound by the wrong and bad spending habits of the median family.
