The station was last branded as "Magic 1560" and aired the satellite-fed adult contemporary music format from Cumulus Media.

[5] Crawford Broadcasting bought the station at auction for $105,000 later that year—though it did not become the licensee until 1970—and said that if the equipment manufacturers that WWGM owed money would not make arrangements with it, the group would build a new facility.

[6] Second Thursday also held a construction permit for an FM station on 92.9 MHz, sold separately,[6] that was finally built in 1976 as WZEZ, now WJXA.

Little Richard, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Bobby Darin, The Spinners, Rolling Stones, and The Turtles were among some of the artist played.

Former WQQK 92Q Program Director Jay Dubard got with the Baileys and gave WMRO its station moniker name, Magic 1560.

Despite a format change, WMRO retained its well-known moniker name, Magic 1560, but adding a new slogan, "Today's Best Hits".

In 2007, WMRO also aired a weekly program called "Music Business Radio", produced at the studios of WRLT (Lightning 100) in Nashville, that promotes local bands, artist and writers.

The first song played on WMRO's new Mainstream AC Format was "I Love Rock-n-Roll" by Joan Jett and The Blackhearts.

He did "short stints" at 103.3 WKDF, 880 WMDB, 88.1 WFSK in Nashville; 1270 WQKR, Portland, Tennessee; and 1570 WLBQ Morgantown, Kentucky.

On January 8, 2020, long-time Sunday afternoon DJ on WMRO, Wayne Akins, had died after an extended illness.

Classic Broadcasting, under then President and General Manager, William E. "Bill" Bailey purchased the building, property and tower site on November 13, 1991, through an IRS auction.

Classic Broadcasting (Scott, Leslie, and Sandra Bailey) sold the building and land to a private individual.

(Jim) Turvaville filed and applied for WMRO to have "Special Temporary Authority" to operate at 200 watts as a daytime–only station with a long wire antenna from Scott and Leslie Bailey's home.
