Owned by Jimmy Dale Media
History:: Began in 1946 as WKUL, with 250 watts. Was an affiliate of both Keystone and Mutual networks in the late 50's. The format and calls eventually moved to FM. Calls changed to WXXR-AM in October 1982. Had a stint as oldies, then eventually began simulcasting a satellite oldies format along with Holly Pond FM station WXXR-FM. The FM went to classic country when Cullman station WFMH (FM) dumped that format, and WXXR-AM went to sports talk. Around September 2002 the calls changed to WFMH. Around September 2004 it appears they dropped some gospel programming for full time sports talk; the station may have gone to a news/talk format before going back to sports, after being purchased by Williams Communications.; The WFMH calls actually appear to go back to 1949 on 1300 kHz; see the history for WMCJ for more information.

In December 2020, station ownership was fined $6,000 for failing to file timely license renewals for this and WMCJ in Cullman. They filed license renewals in February 2021, and they were granted that same month.

At the end of September 2024, Jimmy Dale Media turned in the licenses for this station and WMCJ, with no reason specified to the FCC.
