WKMG (1520 AM) was a radio station broadcasting all varieties of music from 1968 to 2011 in Newberry, South Carolina.
The station license was last owned by Cornell Blakely.[1][2] Service Radio Company, Inc. owns the property.
History
The station signed on May 22, 1968, with a country music format.[3] The license transferred from Service Radio Company, Inc. to Durst Broadcasting Company, Inc. on January 1, 1989,[4] and from Durst to Cornell Blakely[2] on March 20, 2001.[5]
WKMG was deleted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on December 2, 2011, for failure to file for the renewal of its license, which expired a day earlier. Template:Cns
On October 4, 2017, the FCC informed WKMG that it believed the station had been silent for over a year and ordered the station to provide its full operational status since August 9, 2011; in attempting to inform WKMG on May 10, 2017, of unpaid debts it owed to the commission, FCC staffers discovered that license owner Cornell Blakely[2] had died on December 2, 2013, and that WKMG's phone number had been disconnected.[6] After the FCC's notification was returned as undeliverable, the WKMG license was cancelled on November 9, 2017.[7]
