History

WAIM signed on the air in April 1935. Station owner Wilton E. Hall also founded "The Anderson Independent"/"Daily Mail" Newspapers. Hall also owned WCAC FM 101.1. In the 1970s, it became WAIM-FM. In 1978, WAIM-FM 101.1 became Rock 101. WAIM AM 1230 became "Anderson Country". In 1982, the FM call letters were changed to WCKN. In 1992, the format was switched to news/talk. The station now programs a news/talk format as "NewsRadio 1230" with talk hosts such as Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, and George Noory. The station also has a popular morning show called The Rick Driver Show. WAIM-AM 1230 also broadcasts T.L. Hanna Fighting Yellow Jackets Football games in the fall. In 2008, Bob Bierrman returned to the station for the first time since 1973 to do a weekend talk show. He left the station in September 2008. Waim`s main competitor is WANS, AM-1280, which broadcasts a talk/Sports format in the Anderson County and surrounding area.
