WTOT (980 AM) is an American commercial radio station licensed by the FCC to serve the community of Marianna, Florida. As of January 2009, WTOT is owned by MfR, Inc.[1]

According to a string of FCC filings (many of which were dismissed - see the FCC link below), this station has been silent or operating at reduced power since 2006, due to burned out tubes, and being unable to replace the transmitter until they receive proceeds from a lawsuit. The most recent request to extend the operations at reduced power has not been approved by the FCC.

In August 2008, Ed Cearley III - the general manager, president and part owner of the station - was found dead in his home, having died from natural causes, according to police.[1]

On May 1, 2015 (after being silent for four months) WTOT returned to the air with an urban contemporary format.
