History

The Williamsburg Broadcasting Corporation was granted a construction permit for a new 250-watt radio station on 710 kHz on May 5, 1981. [1]

The last licensee, Gerald Parks, failed to renew it in 2020, causing the station to be deleted on August 3 of that year. The call letters were then adopted by the repeater of WEKU in Corbin.
