History

WARM has a long and distinguished history in northeastern Pennsylvania broadcasting. It was the predominant Top 40 format music station in the area during the 1960s and into the 1970s. It was known during this era as "The Mighty 590" [ [http://www.infoagepub.com/products/downloads/html/1-59311-111-8.php I
] ] . WARM has held its original call sign since it signed on the AM broadcast band in 1940 [ [http://members.aol.com/jeff99500/1949am.html U. S. Network-Affiliated AM Radio Stations, 1949 ] ] . However, the station originally broadcast on a frequency of 1400 kHz during its early years [ [http://members.aol.com/jeff560/1946am.html U. S. AM stations as of 1946 ] ] .
