WMKM (1440 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Inkster, Michigan, and serving the Detroit metropolitan area.
WMKM broadcasts with 1,000 watts of power using two different directional signal patterns for day and night.
It was the Detroit area's first radio station to be built from the ground up by, and programmed one hundred per cent to, African-Americans.
[3] In February 1990, WCHB abandoned 1440 for the 1200 kHz frequency licensed to Taylor, Michigan, a more powerful signal.
At that point, the station on 1440 AM took the call sign WMKM and began broadcasting brokered urban gospel and Christian programming aimed at the African-American community.
