By day, WROM is powered at 1,000 [[watt]]s. Because it shares the same frequency as "[[List of North American broadcast station classes|Class A]] [[Clear-channel stations|clear channel]]" station [[WOR (AM)|WOR]] in [[New York City]], WROM onlyis broadcastsa on[[daytimer]]. To avoid interference, it must go off the AMair signalat duringnight, when radio waves travel farther.

==History==
===AM 710===
On December 26, 1946, the station first [[sign-on|signed on]] the air.<ref>[https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-BC-YB/1948/Radio%20by%20State%20BC%20YB%201948%20B&W-10.pdf Broadcasting Yearbook 1948 page 114]</ref> It was owned by the Coosa Broadcasting Company, with H. Dean Covington serving as president and general manager. The studios were at 121 Broad Street.
 
In 1999, the LGV Corporarion acquired the station for $150,000.<ref>[https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-BC-YB/2003-04/D-Radio-All-BC-YB-2003-04.pdf Broadcasting & Cable Yearbook 2003-2004 page D-125]</ref> The station carried a [[Southern Gospel music]] format.
 
===WROM-TV===
In 1953, immediately after a freeze on new television stations was lifted, H. Dean Covington and associates, the owners of WROM Radio, applied for and received a [[Federal Communications Commission]] (FCC) license to construct a TV station on Channel 9 (analog 186-192&nbsp;MHz). A [[construction permit]] was issued for WROM-TV, and the new TV station began broadcasting from the WROM studios at 121 Broad Street in downtown Rome. The station's transmitter was located on Mt. Alto Road, on the highest peak of [[Horseleg Mountain]], west of Rome. WROM-TV Channel 9 was mainly [[network affiliate|affiliated]] with [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]], and secured secondary affiliations with [[NBC]], [[CBS]] and the [[DuMont Television Network]].
 
In late 1957, the TV station was sold to Martin Theaters of Georgia, Inc., which had received permission from the FCC to switch its WDAK-TV, Channel 28 in [[Columbus, Georgia]], to Channel 9, necessitating the move of the Channel 9 frequency in Rome farther away to alleviate co-channel interference. Covington and associates owners also agreed to sell their station to Martin Theaters, which then moved Channel 9 from Rome 70 miles north to [[Chattanooga, Tennessee]], and re-license it as [[WTVC]]. The station remains affiliated with ABC, now serving the Chattanooga [[media market|television market]].
