Wisconsin AMs that never had a FM?

D

dougw9wi

A check of the records suggests that all currently-authorized Wisconsin AM stations have, at one time, had an associated full-license FM station except the following:

WXCE-1260, Amery
WRPQ-740, Baraboo
WGEZ-1490, Beloit
WDVM-1050, Eau Claire
WDGY-740, Hudson
WHRY-1450, Hurley
WAUK-540, Jackson
WHBY-1150, Kimberly
WNOV-860, Milwaukee
WLWB-1530, New Holstein
WVCY-690, Oshkosh
WJUB-1420, Plymouth
WCLB-950, Sheboygan
WKSH-1640, Sussex

Anyone know of any of these AM stations having an associated FM, not counting translators?
 
WJUB was actually associated with an FM which launched as WXER in 1990 when it was still WPLY, but they broke off iin 1994-ish when WJUB when religious. WXER then was paired with WCNZ for nine years (current WCLB, former WKTS) when they were sold off to Midwest's Sheboygan cluster of WHBL/WHBZ/WBFM. And these days, WJUB is run by the same people as WSTR/Kiel, still the same little studio off Highway 57 east of Plymouth.

WDVM was WISM-AM. They had 98.1 WISM-FM when the FM first went on the air in the 1980's. They sold the AM to the catholics to keep the FM alive in the early 90's I believe. Then Clear Channel bought 98.1
 
The original WHBY (Appleton-licensed 1230) was taken dark so that the station could move to Kimberly-licensed 1150 (which had been WYNE), supposedly in the early '90s. I'm not sure if WYNE ever had an FM sister, but 1230-era WHBY certainly did (WAPL-FM, starting in the mid- or late '70s); that co-ownership continued after WHBY moved to 1150.

...at the time of the buy-out, WYNE's FM sister was WROE...
