It’s presently dark but licensed to broadcast at 90.9 MHz with 950 watts of power, serving tiny Wheatfield, Ind., to the southeast of Gary. Soon, this religious non-comm will be resurrected under new ownership, pending regulatory approval.
WPWM-FM is being acquired from Emmanuel Baptist Church of Hebron by American Christian Radio Inc., an entity led by President Matthew Middlebrooke.
A token price of $1 is being assigned to the acquisition of the Construction Permit, giving the buyer full authority to build the station.
Serving as the buyer’s legal counsel is Tepper Law Firm of Bethesda, Md.
Once the deal is completed, WPWM will become a sibling to five other unbuilt FMs across the country licensed to ACR:
- KHBN-FM in Beloit, Kansas
- KFCA-FM in Aberdeen, South Dakota
- KYAS-FM in Artesia, New Mexico
- KYPT-FM in Minot, North Dakota
- KNHO-FM in Roswell, New Mexico
