FM Boyne City. The 93.5 frequency began broadcasting in 1978, and originally programmed a stand-alone country format as WCLX (with the calls standing for nearby Charlevoix). (The WBCM calls were used for years at an AM station in Bay City, Michigan, now WMAX.) Later, WKJF 1370 Cadillac simulcast WCCW. WKJF has since been donated to the same ministry that received the original 1400 signal, Good News Media (which changed the calls to WLJW in March 2004, and has since used it to simulcast WLJN). Also, in the 1990s, Biederman purchased WCCW (AM) 1310 (then standards from ABC's "Stardust" network, now sports from ESPN Radio) and FM 107.5 (oldies), which had been WTCM's primary local competitor in the "early days" after being founded by a former Midwestern employee, John Anderson, in 1960. WTCM boosted its power once again, this time to a full 50 kW daytime, allowing its directional signal to penetrate Canada. The station started broadcasting from its new home, Biederman's Radio Centre building in downtown Traverse City, in 2002. The building also houses Ross Biederman's other properties, WCCW-AM-FM (along with recent sign-on WCZW-FM 107.9 Charlevoix, which simulcasts WCCW-FM "Oldies 107-5") and Top 40 WJZQ 92.9 FM (Z93). On February 24, 2020, WTCM simulcaster WBCM 93.5 FM dropped its simulcast with WTCM-FM and began simulcasting mainstream rock-formatted WKLT 97.5 FM Kalkaska.
