WNQM (1300 AM), is a radio station located in Nashville, Tennessee, owned by F. W. Robbert Broadcasting. It airs a Christian radio format calling itself "Nashville Quality Ministries".

By day, WNQM is powered at 50,000 watts non-directional, the highest power for U.S. AM stations. At night, to protect other stations on 1300 AM from interference, it reduces power to 5,000 watts and uses a directional antenna with a five-tower array. The station's radio studios and transmitter are off Ashland City Highway (Tennessee State Route 12)[1]

History

WMAK Top 40

The station, then owned by Texas newspaper publisher Frank W. Mayborn, signed on the air on July 1, 1948. The original call sign was WMAK.

From December 1962 through the 1970s, WMAK was a top 40 contemporary hits radio station, popular with young people in Nashville. Promotion and stunts made the station competitive in the Nashville radio market. Before the switch to hit radio for WMAK, WKDA had been the dominant top 40 station in Nashville, helmed by Jack Stapp, a local music publisher and owner of TREE Music Publishing in Nashville. With the installation of Ralley Stanton as Program Director, WMAK began to rival WKDA.

Owner Fred Gregg, who also owned WAKY in Louisville, Kentucky, helped put WMAK into a competitive position by installing a new 5,000 watt RCA transmitter. With the new sound and complete coverage in the Middle Tennessee market, WMAK reached number two in the Pulse Rating Service and number three in the Monthly Hooper Ratings. WMAK disc jockeys were known as the "WMAK Tigers". They included: Allen (Dennis) and Alan (Nelson - the News Director) in morning drive time. Gene Clark was heard middays 9AM-2PM, Jay Reynolds (later at WABC New York) from 2PM to 6PM and Frank Jolley 6 PM-Midnight. Meanwhile, the DJs on WKDA 1240 were known as the "Good Guys".

WMAK would sign off each night at midnight until the late 60s, when Scott Shannon became Program Director and took the station full time. Shannon, later at WHTZ, WPLJ and WCBS-FM in New York, installed his new brand of top 40 radio excitement at the station. WMAK became the number one rated radio station under Shannon's leadership.

Disco, Oldies and Christian Radio

On August 14, 1978, the station adopted a disco music format and was known as "Majik 13". During the run of the disco format, WMAK was fully automated. On January 1, 1980, disco was dropped and WMAK's format became oldies. WMAK ended the automation and brought back live DJs. (The oldies format and call sign were later revived in 2000, by WMAK-FM 96.3, which is now Jack FM station WCJK).

On June 22, 1982, 1300 AM became WLUY, "Lucky 13", and was largely run by students of the Nashville Radio School. The station went dark in 1983. That year, F. W. Robbert Broadcasting bought the station for $700,000.[2] On February 2, 1984, it returned to the air and began broadcasting a Christian radio format.
