History

In 1958, the station signed on as WCSI-FM, the sister station to WCSI 1010 AM. WCSI-FM was powered at 20,000 watts, less than half its current output. The two stations largely simulcast their programming. By the early 1980s, WCSI and WCSI-FM were airing separate programming.

It became WKKG-FM in 1983. The transmitter effective radiated power (ERP) was increased to 50,000 watts in 1987. [3] [4]
