WJMP was a commercial daytime-only radio station licensed to Kent, Ohio, which operated on 1520 AM and served the Akron metro area. Owned by Media-Com, Inc. for much of its existence, the station broadcast from 1965 to 2016 as the AM adjunct to WNIR, which gradually assumed WKNT's more popular programs.
Subject to multiple format changes throughout the 1990s, 2000s and early 2010s, and garnering a Guinness World Record for playing Take Me Out to the Ball Game continuously as a stunt in 1994, WJMP ceased operations after the license was turned in to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for cancellation. WJMP's studios and transmitter were co-located with WNIR in Franklin Township and continue to house WNIR to the present day.
