History
WTMN signed on the air in January 1990. Its original call sign was WWLO.[2] It was a daytimer with 2,500 watts power, and required to be off the air at night. It was diplexed on the WLUS tower (now WDVH) on SE 27th Street in Gainesville. The station initially broadcast an urban contemporary format. That format was moved to sister station 101.3 WTMG in 1993.
After that, several attempts were made to launch a sports radio format. But they were not successful because the dominant Gainesville team, the University of FloridaGators, are heard on AM 850 WRUF, the school's commercial radio station.
