WYMM (1530 AM) is a commercial radio station in Jacksonville, Florida, broadcasting a Caribbean format. The station targets Jacksonville's Caribbean and Haitian communities. WYMM is locally owned AVM Broadcasting LLC. Its transmitter, studios and offices are on Picketville Road in the Biltmore neighborhood of Jacksonville.^[2]

WYMM is a Class D daytime-only AM station. It operates with 50,000 watts, the maximum power permitted by the Federal Communications Commission. It uses a directional antenna with a two-tower array. Because 1530 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A stations WCKY Cincinnati and KFBK Sacramento, WYMM must go off the air at night to avoid interference. Programming is heard around the clock on 99-watt FM translator W243DO at 96.5 MHz.

The station signed on the air on October 26, 1987; 37 years ago (1987-10-26). Its original call sign was WJGR. Over the years, it had several call letter changes, from WJGC to WCRJ to WOBS. In 2003, it took its current call sign, WYMM.

Prior to March 2014, it was "La Poderosa", playing a Regional Mexican music format. It later spent time with a Haitian format, with its hosts speaking Haitian Creole and English. It later became "Caribbean Power Radio," a syndicated format targeting mostly English-speakers from countries in the Caribbean with some Haitian programming.
