WAMT switched to Spanish-language sports at the beginning of 2010. Previously, it featured programming from the CBS Radio Network, Fox News Radio, and Westwood One.
At January 21, 2010 at 11:37 pm local time, its website address redirected all visitors to the website of then-sister station, WHOO, which carried a sports format, but it is now a parked page. In December 2011, ESPN Deportes Radio signed off from the station, and the station stunted for about a month, playing canned music and replays of old speeches.
Genesis Communications announced that it would sell WAMT and WHOO to Relevant Radio. The sale was completed August 14, 2018. In late 2018-early 2019, both WAMT and WHOO switched from their former formats to Catholic talk, branded as “Relevant Radio”. This did not last long for WAMT. During the summer of 2021, Relevant Radio determined that they did not need both WAMT and WHOO. Family Radio approached them about buying one of the two stations and Relevant sold 1190 WAMT to Family Radio in the fall of 2021 and in January of 2022, Family Radio took over ownership of that station and put their Traditional Christian middle of the road music and teaching format on AM 1190 WAMT.
