WNMT is a talk radio station in Hibbing, Minnesota that broadcasts over the preassigned frequency of 650 AM. It is also, however the call letters of a former radio station in Garden City, Georgia that broadcast from the summer of 1968 until roughly the spring of 1991 over the 1520 AM frequency. The initial broadcast over WNMT-AM is thought to have been that of the assassination of Presidential contender Robert F. Kennedy the previous night, June 5, 1968.

The former WNMT station broadcast from dawn to dusk nearly every day, and broadcast a variety of family oriented programming. The owner and operator was an elderly (now deceased) gentleman, surname Watkins, (date of birth unknown). Currently WNMT is owned by Midwest Communications. Midwest also owns five other radio stations on the Iron Range.

WNMT broadcasts a typical AM station pattern during the day which gives it good coverage over most of Northeastern Minnesota. However at nighttime, the station broadcasts a directional pattern from five towers which makes it difficult to receive south of the immediate Iron Range. This is done to protect signals to the south broadcasting on the same frequency.
