WWTM (1400 AM, "1400 The Team") is a sports/talk formatted radio station licensed to Decatur, Alabama, that serves Decatur, Huntsville, and the northwest Alabama region.[1] The station is owned by R & B Communications, Inc.
Programming
The station derives almost all of its programming from ESPN Radio. Weekend programming from other providers includes "Tee It Up" from Fourteenth Colony Productions. Weekend programming during the football season also includes "NFL Preview", "NFL Insider" and "NCAA Football Insider" from Westwood One, plus "Pro Football Weekly" from Syndication Networks.
History
The station started in 1935 as WMSL and was owned by Mutual Savings Life. Mutual Savings also owned WMSL-FM 92.5 and WMSL-TV 23 (now WAFF-TV 48). Later owners included Frank Whisenant and Clete Quick. In March 1987 the call letters were changed to WAVD, which they remained until becoming WWTM, the current call sign, in June 2001.[2]
Before becoming available for this station, the WWTM call letters were most recently otherwise assigned to a station in Worcester, Massachusetts, before it changed to WVEI in August 2000.[3][4]
