WMPM

WMPM (1270 AM) is a commercial broadcasting station licensed to Smithfield, North Carolina, which features urban oldies and gospel programming. WMPM is owned by Jimmy Johnson, through licensee Johnson Broadcast Ventures, Ltd.
The station is heavily focused on Johnston County and originally had a traditional country format, with an occasional gospel song thrown in every now and then. It was previously owned by broadcaster Carl Lamm, who held onto the station for nearly a half-century and continues to host a weekday afternoon show on sister station WTSB to this day. In addition, Carl is a member of the North Carolina Broadcasters Hall of Fame.
On November 1, 2007, the programming heard on 1270 moved down the dial to WTSB/1090, another Johnston County station, which previously had an all-sports format.
Beginning in 2009, WMPM broadcast contemporary Christian music, billing itself as "the new 1270 WMPM, Johnston County's Christian Radio.". The station signed off and went silent on February 28, 2019 following the owner's retirement.
Effective December 6, 2019, Carl Lamm sold WMPM to Jimmy Johnson's Johnson Broadcast Ventures, Ltd. for $155,000.
