History

The station signed on the air on March 22, 1976, as WRCV. [2] It was a adult contemporary format.

On August 1, 1983, the call sign was changed to WGLL, and the station adopted a oldies format as 92.1 Gold.

On October 4, 1993, the call sign was changed to WSRT, and the station adopted a hot adult contemporary format as Star 92.1. [3]

On February 28, 2005, at noon, the call sign was changed to WPPT, and the station adopted a contemporary hit radio format as 92-1 The Point. [4]

On March 5, 2012, WPPT changed their format from classic country back to Top 40/CHR, branded as "Now 92.1", and changed its call sign to WNUZ. [5]

On November 18, 2016, WNUZ rebranded as "92.1 Hits FM". [6]

On September 27, 2019, the station dropped the CHR format again, and began stunting with Christmas music. On September 30, the station changed its call sign to WIKG, and switched to classic hits as "92.1 The Goat". [7]
