History
The WISM FM callsign was first used in 1959 in Madison at 98.1 FM.[2] On December 1, 1983, WISM changed its callsign to WMGN.[3]
Eventually, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) controlled and licensed station call lettered were acquired by Alpenglow Communications, which relaunched WISM-FM in November 1991 with a classic rock format.[4]
The station was then bought[5] by Clear Channel Broadcasting Licenses, Inc., but was then sold to Aloha Station Trust, LLC.
The station was sold again in 2016 to Mid-West Family Broadcasting for $970,000.[6]
On July 1, 2016, coincident with the sale to Mid-West Family Broadcasting being consummated, WISM-FM changed its format from adult contemporary to classic hits, branded as "Greatest Hits 98.1". The specific programming was transferred from WDRK, upon that station's donation from Mid-West Family Broadcasting to Blugold Radio LLC.
