WNMB is an oldies radio station in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. They broadcast in high fidelity CQUAM AM Stereo.

History

WGSN signed on with a news radio format in the early 1980s. Later, the station aired the same programming as co-owned WNMB-FM, and at one point the station was religious. In 2000, Fidelity Broadcasting moved the WNMB letters to WGSN when the FM became WEZV. Starting in 2001, WNMB(AM) was leased by Bill Norman, who managed WNMB-FM in the 1970s, returned to the area after 20 years in Albemarle, North Carolina. Norman also became the morning host, while his wife Susi Norman, also a WNMB-FM employee in the early days, took the midday shift. Larry Schropp, another member of the WNMB-FM team, was the afternoon DJ. [Kathleen Vereen Dayton, "New Pine Drive, S.C., Radio Station Uses Old Call Letters", The "Sun News", February 28, 2001]
