A photograph of the Transmitter Hall at (the now defunct) WGTM-AM in the Raleigh suburb of Wilson, North Carolina.
WGTM-AM went off the air in March, 2010; and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) had officially deleted the license of WGTM-AM on December 2, 2011; for the owner’s (Spirit Broadcasting Inc.) failure to renew this Station’s license. WGTM-AM’s license had actually expired the prior day, on December 1, 2011.
For a time, WGTM-AM had an FM offspring, WGTM-FM; which was assigned by the FCC to operate and transmit its signal at 106.7 megacycles. WGTM-FM would be taken off the air by Hurricane Hazel in 1954, only to never again return to the air.
