History.
The station's original construction permit was granted by the Federal Communications Commission on January 2, 1947; it was initially assigned the call sign WMMB, but changed to WMMW on March 4. It began broadcasting June 8, 1947, on 1470 kHz with 1000 watts of power. The station was licensed to Silver City Crystal Company.
On March 5, 2014, Buckley Broadcasting announced that it would sell its Connecticut radio stations, including WMMW, to Connoisseur Media. The sale was completed on July 7, 2014 at a price of $7,922,035. Connoisseur sold WMMW, along with the other Talk of Connecticut stations (except for WWCO in Waterbury), WDRC-FM in Hartford, and W272DO in New Haven, to Red Wolf Broadcasting for $8 million in January 2018; the sale was completed on March 29, 2018.
The call sign was changed to WBOM on April 28, 2020.
