WQTM (1480 AM) is a radio station licensed to serve Fair Bluff, in the U.S. state of North Carolina. The station, founded in 1967 as WWKO, is currently owned by Rama Radio of North Carolina, Inc.[1]

WQTM broadcasts a Sports talk format.[3]

The station was re-assigned its legacy WWKO call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on January 29, 2009.[2] The station changed call sign to WQTM and returned to the air as a simulcast of WEVG in Evergreen, Alabama effective July 12, 2011. The simulcast with WEVG ended due to the owners not paying for services rendered by WEVG.
