WTMR (800 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a religious format. Licensed to Camden, New Jersey, USA, it serves the Philadelphia area. The station is currently owned by Beasley Broadcast Group and features programing from Westwood One.
[edit] History
The station began operations in the late 1940s as WKDN. It was originally owned by Ranulf Compton, and was a 1,000-watt, daytime-only station that broadcast middle-of-the-road music. The call letters became WTMR after the station was sold in 1968. By the early 1970s WTMR's power had been increased to 5,000 watts. In 1975 the station began phasing out pop music in favor of religious programming. It was granted a license to operate at night during the 1980s.
