WPLM (1390 AM) is a radio station broadcasting an adult contemporary format, simulcast with WPLM-FM (99.1). Licensed to Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA, the station serves the South Shore and Cape Cod areas. The station is currently owned by Plymouth Rock Broadcasting Co., Inc.[2][3] Most of the station's broadcast day is leased out to Money Matters Radio, owner of WBNW; Plymouth Rock generally airs its programming on the station during nights and weekends.

History

WPLM signed on August 8, 1955, with WPLM-FM being added on June 25, 1961.[4] The two stations simulcast all programming from the FM station's launch[5] until 1997, when the station began leasing out some of its broadcast day to simulcast WADN (now WBNW).[6] On January 15, 2015 WPLM returned to a full simulcast with WPLM-FM.

For much of its history, WPLM was branded as "America's Hometown Station;" its current slogan is relatively recent.
