WRMO-FM is a radio station licensed to serve Mexico, Maine. The station is owned by Gleason Radio Group and licensed to Mountain Valley Broadcasting, Inc. Established in 1988 as WTBM, WRMO-FM is silent; for much of its history, it broadcast a country music format simulcast with WOXO-FM.

History

WRMO-FM signed on September 15, 1988 as WTBM, owned by Tanist Broadcasting Corporation and programming country music, album-oriented rock, and adult contemporary music. Mountain Valley Broadcasting bought WTBM in 1990 and converted it to a simulcast of WOXO-FM. The station took on the WOXO-FM call letters on August 1, 2016; the call sign became available to 100.7 after the 92.7 FM facility became hot adult contemporary station WEZR-FM, with WOXO's country music programming airing on 100.7 FM and on WOXO.
In April 2019, the country format moved from WOXO back to WEZR-FM, retaining the simulcast on WOXO-FM. On September 27, 2019, the WEZR-FM call sign moved to 100.7, with 92.7 returning to WOXO-FM; on October 8, 100.7's call sign was changed to WRMO-FM.
WRMO-FM, along with its sister stations, went off the air March 29, 2020, citing financial considerations that included expected reduction in advertising revenue attributed to COVID-19. The stations had been up for sale following the death of owner Dick Gleason in February 2019. A sale of the Gleason Media Group stations to Bennett Radio Group is pending.
