WMBM - Gospel 1490 AM

WMBM Gospel 1490 AM is a radio station originating from the United States, based in Miami Beach, Florida. It began broadcasting on April 3, 1962, evolving from earlier incarnations like WAHR, which signed on in 1954. Now owned by New Birth Broadcasting Corp., founded by Bishop Victor T. Curry, it operates on 1490 AM, serving the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood area from studios in North Miami. Known historically as a hub for rhythm and blues and jazz, it shifted to a gospel format, becoming a spiritual cornerstone for the local Black community with a legacy tied to figures like Larry King and Les Brown from its early days. 

The station plays a mix of traditional and contemporary gospel music, featuring artists like Tasha Cobbs and Chicago Mass Choir, alongside sermons and quartet selections. Shows like "Morning Glory" with Bishop Curry blend news, sports, and faith, engaging listeners daily.
