WQTM fell silent on September 15, 2018 due to damage from Hurricane Florence, the station formerly broadcast a sports talk format.^[4]

The station was reassigned its legacy WWKO call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on January 29, 2009.^[2] The station changed call sign to WQTM and returned to the air as a simulcast of WEVG in Evergreen, Alabama effective July 12, 2011.

The simulcast with WEVG ended due to then-station owners Rama Communications not paying for services rendered by WEVG. Effective July 9, 2019, Rama Communications sold WQTM and the construction permit for translator W279DQ to Keith Baldwin for $10. After the sale, WQTM dropped the sports format in favor of an urban gospel format.
