WYAM (890 AM, "Fiesta Mexicana 890") is a Spanish language Variety formatted radio station licensed to serve Hartselle, Alabama.[1] The station primarily serves the Huntsville, Alabama, area. It is owned by Decatur Communications Properties, LLC.

Due to FCC regulations, the station must sign-off at sunset, to protect Chicago's WLS. The WYAM transmitter is located about 1 mile south of the Tennessee River adjacent to I-65. FCC sunset is at various times, yet this transmitter is normally on 24 hours a day.{{Citation needed|date=June 2008}}

Programming

The station is one of three in the area that broadcast in Spanish.[2] The others are WKAC (1080 AM) in Athens (which broadcasts part-time in English) and WJHX (620 AM) in Lexington.

The station is also an affiliate of the American Family Radio network.[3]

WYAM carried limited OSRN programming, and is a former affiliate of the now-defunct Outdoor Sports Radio Network.

WYAM also has a television department, WYAM TV51, which airs live programming and satellite programming from around the country, offers video editing services, and ad buys for commercials advertising.

History

The station has previously aired Gospel music and Oldies formats. Until June 1, 1994, the station's call sign was WHRT.[4]

Another station in the Huntsville market, WTAK-FM, was assigned the WYAM call letters from November 15, 1991, until July 6, 1993.[5]

Ownership

In September 1999, WYAM was sold to Priority Communications LLC (Danis L. Willingham and James D. Early, members) by WAJF Inc. (d/b/a Grass Roots American Inc.) for a reported sale price of $75,000.[6][7] In September 2003, Priority Communications consummated its transfer of the WYAM license to Decatur Communications Properties LLC, the station's current owner.[8]
