-format FM radio station broadcasting to the Nashville, Tennessee
market on the frequency of 88.7 mHz. It is technically licensed to Spring Hill, Tennessee

.
WAYM, through its sister station WAYW-New Johnsonville

Though the programming on WAYM and WAYW is the same, the WAYW feed differs slightly, using imaging without references to a specific dial position. This is done to accommodate Way-FM's many translator signals across the Southeast, which are located on many different dial positions.

station of the network of Way-FM stations around the country, as well as several affiliates owned by other organizations, meaning that WAYM's programming is simulcast on dozens of stations across America.
