The new 100.7 MHz station was assigned the WCKF call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on November 28, 2006. [4] WCKF came on the air as a sister station to co-owned WCKA (810 AM) at the end of January 2008. [3] The station received its license to cover from the FCC on January 25, 2008.
