WTMK (88.5 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a Christian contemporary music format. Licensed to Wanatah, Indiana, United States, the station is currently owned by Olivet Nazarene University.[1] This station also broadcasts the Lowell Senior High School Red Devils football games as an affiliate of the Regional Radio Sports Network.

History

The station went on the air licensed to serve Lowell, Indiana with the callsign 980 417 ME on April 17, 1998; on December 26, 2002, the station changed its call sign to the current WTMK.[2] WTMK had previously aired a format of Christian talk and music and was owned by CSN International. Under CSN International's ownership, WTMK went by the branding "Calvary Radio". The station was sold to Olivet Nazarene University and began broadcasting the Christian contemporary music format known as Shine.fm on December 28, 2010.

The owners of WTMK had a construction permit to move to Wanatah, Indiana. The new facility was to broadcast with an ERP of 4 kW and a tower height of 102.8 meters above average terrain, and was licensed on April 6, 2015 with a lower ERP and a greater tower height.
