The Mighty 990 KWAM is a prominent radio station in the Mid-South, featuring a daily lineup that includes Todd Starnes, Tim Van Horn, Bill O’Reilly, Sebastian Gorka, Lars Larson, Larry Elder, Ben Shapiro, and Red Eye Radio.

Originally established on February 23, 1947, in West Memphis, Arkansas as KWEM, the station has a rich history of broadcasting live music by legendary artists like B.B. King, Ike Turner, Johnny Cash, and Howlin’ Wolf. In 1954, KWEM relocated to Memphis across the Mississippi River and later changed its call letters to KWAM in 1959.

Under the ownership of Starnes Media Group since 2020, KWAM proudly revived its original slogan, “The Mighty 990,” providing a clear signal that reaches across the tri-state region. Broadcasting news, traffic updates, and weather reports on 990 AM and 107.9 FM, KWAM stands out as the sole locally-owned news-talk radio station in the Mid-South.
