This station, originally on 1170 as a daytime-only operation, signed on November 20, 1970 as WHLW with an MOR format.

Del Sharbutt of the Mutual Broadcasting System was one of the owners.

The original air staff was John Colure in the mornings, Jack Tracksler in middays and Paul Irwin in afternoon drive.

Later in the 1970's, Joey Reynolds was brought in as PD and WHLW switched to a Top 40 format.

During this time, Jay Sorensen was there and "your old buddy" Charlie Roberts was doing afternoons.

One slogan that comes to mind during this time is "Sunrise, Sunset 11-7".

Calls changed to WOBM on November 30, 1981.

Soon afterwards, they were granted full-time status and moved to 1160.

In the early 1990's, WOBM featured a country format.

In September 2002 WOBM-AM was purchased by the Millennium Radio Group, L.L.C.

Their current format is Adult Standards, featuring a local morning show with Bob & Marianne Levy.

In 2003, WOBM-AM acquired the rights to the Lakewood BlueClaws baseball game broadcasts, previously on WHTG-AM in 2002 and WPDQ-FM in 2001.
