WTIM

TAYLORVILLE (Heartland Newsfeed) — In a press release made available Tuesday, it was determined that regional broadcaster Miller Media Group, based in Taylorville that an application to expand and build a new FM signal for news/talk station WTIM was approved by the Federal Communications Commission.

Company president Randal J. Miller is planning on the new signal going live this summer.

The new signal at 107.7 FM in Sullivan will cover all of Moultrie County, so that listeners in that region can hear the station’s local news and sports coverage, the always popular Swap Shop program, St. Louis Cardinals baseball, NFL football and NCAA football and basketball games.

The group also operates the DeWitt Daily News and Taylorville Daily News websites.
