WWMK: Radio Disney
Despite the innovative programming produced by WMIH, and the devoted listenership from the Catholic community in Cleveland, Divine Mercy ended up having serious financial trouble in maintaining that original programming, which emphasized local hosts and remote coverage of sports and other events.
At the same time, ABC Radio was looking for an outlet for its Radio Disney in the Cleveland market, and it purchased the station. It took over the station on May 1, 1998., and the call sign was changed to WWMK on December 4.
Since then, the station has relayed the network on a 24-hour basis. The only local show of note on WWMK is the public-affairs show The Backyard Show, at 7 a.m. on Sunday mornings.
WWMK is also one of two AM stations in the Cleveland area that is currently broadcasting in IBOC HD Radio, the other one being WTAM. WWMK has occasionally suffered from audio problems since the installment of their HD Radio equipment in 2006.

Famous quotes containing the word radio:
“A bibulation of sports writers, a yammer of radio announcers, a guilt of umpires, an indigence of writers.”
