WNQM, or Nashville Quality Ministries, is a Christian radio station located in Nashville, Tennessee and owned by F.W. Robbert Broadcasting. It broadcasts much of the same programming as its sister shortwave station, WWCR.

History

The station was founded in 1945 as WMAK by the Texas newspaper publisher Frank W. Mayborn of Temple, Texas.

In the 1960s and early 1970s, 1300 AM was a popular rock music station known as WMAK. In August 1978, the station adopted a disco format and was known as "Majik 13". On January 1, 1980, disco was dropped and WMAK's format became oldies. The oldies format and callsign were later revived in 2000 by WMAK-FM (which is now the Jack FM station WCJK).

On June 22, 1982, it became WLUY, "Lucky 13", and was largely run by students of Nashville Radio School. The station went dark in 1983. That year, F.W. Robbert Broadcasting bought the station and on February 2, 1984, it began broadcasting with its current format.
