590 MIGHTY MEMORY #133

JUNE 1958 

THE MIGHTY 590 SIGNS ON  SIXTY YEARS AGO 

Sixty years ago this month, WARM Radio became THE MIGHTY 590! An era of music, information, news, and public service began! WARM took the area by storm and remained a dominant ratings leader until the summer of 1976 when WGBI FM (once a beautiful music station) went to rock and roll automation. 
From '76 on, WARM then began a transition to hybrid formats of sports and entertainment, then personality and talk,  straight talk, and now primarily network sports. 
WARM's, current format is primarily all network with very little local interactions. Strange but that was the way WARM started in 1940. 
The frequency  is two years away from 8 full decades. There were many programs, personalities and formats along the way. But many will agree that from 1958 to 1976, those were were the halcyon days of The Mighty 590!
