'''WROM''' (710 [[Hertz|kHz]] "Radio M") is a [[commercial radio|commercial]] [[AM broadcasting|AM]] [[radio station]] in [[Rome, Georgia]]. It airs a [[variety hits]] [[radio format]] blending [[Top 40]], [[Dance music|Dance]], [[alternative rock|Alternative]] and [[Rock music]]. The station is owned by Howard Toole, with Rome Radio Partners, LLC, holding the [[broadcast license]].
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 is a [[daytimer]]. To avoid interference, it must go off the air at night, when radio waves travel farther. It is also heard around the clock on 250 watt [[FM translator]] '''W276CL''', 103.1 [[Hertz|MHz]], from Atlanta Junction, a section of Rome.<ref>[https://radio-locator.com/info/W276CL-FX Radio-Locator.com/W276CL]</ref>

===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 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
