By day, WRMN is powered at 1,000 watts non-directional. At night, it increases its power to 1,300 watts but it also uses a directional antenna to protect other stations on 1410 AM from interference. The transmitter is on Sundown Road at North La Fox Street in South Elgin.[4]
WRMN first signed on the air in 1949.[7] It was originally powered at 500 watts and was a daytimer station, required to go off the air at sunset. It was owned by the Elgin Broadcasting Company with studios at 188 Division Street.
An agreement was signed October 26, 2016, to sell WRMN, along with commonly-owned stations KSHP and WBIG, to Pollack Broadcasting for $2 million. The sale was consummated on January 31, 2017.
