WMAY (AM)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

WMAY-AM is a commercial talk radio station based out of Springfield, Illinois, broadcasting on 970 AM. The station is known for live and local talk throughout the weekdays and a format of live local "self help" programming on Saturdays. Danny Daniels hosts the Sunday Morning Bandstand filled with standards from the 40's and 50's on Sunday Mornings from 8am - 11am.

Its principal competitor is WTAX.

WMAY played country before switching to its current talk format. Its managing company, Mid-West Family Broadcasting, owns local stations WNNS-FM, WQLZ-FM, and WYVR-FM.

The WMAY callsign has been in use at least since 1930, when it was a station in St. Louis, Missouri.
