WIAN (1240 AM) was a radio station licensed to Ishpeming, Michigan. The station began broadcasting November 16, 1947, holding the call sign WJPD and operating with 250 watts full-time.[1][2] The station, whose slogan was "The Voice of the Iron Country," was licensed to Ishpeming Broadcasting Company.[1] Its call sign stood for the founding owner's name, James P. Deegan. Locally, it was also referred to as "Where Joyful People Dwell".[3]
The station's call sign was changed to WIAN on November 15, 1992.[4] It changed formats from country, simulcasting 92.3 WJPD-FM, to adult contemporary, and began simulcasting AM 1320 WDMJ.[5] In December 1998, WIAN and WDMJ adopted a talk/sports format.[6] Its owner, Sovereign Communications, surrendered WIAN's license on July 30, 2020.[7]
