WQRM (850 kHz) is a non-commercial AM radio station licensed to Duluth, Minnesota. It is an owned and operated by Milwaukee-based VCY America.[2] It carries VCY's listener-supported Christian talk and teaching format, with soft Christian music heard some hours.

WQRM is a daytimer station. By day, it transmits 50,000 watts non-directional, the maximum for AM radio stations in the U.S. 850 AM is a clear channel frequency so WQRM's AM transmitter must go off the air at night to avoid interfering with other stations. During critical hours, it transmits 14,000 watts. The tower is on East McCuen Street in Duluth, near the St. Louis River.[3] Programming is heard around the clock on 250-watt FM translator W249CX at 97.7 MHz.
