History

WICO-FM signed on September 3, 1969, at 94.3 FM. WICO-FM moved up the dial to 97.5 FM in 1999 which cleared the way for WINX-FM to sign on the air at 94.3 FM in Cambridge, Maryland.

After nearly 40 years of broadcasting as WICO-FM, the station was assigned the WKTT call sign by the Federal Communications Commission on March 30, 2009. [1]

WKTT and sister station WICO (1320 AM) were purchased effective May 12, 2016, from Delmarva Broadcasting Company by Robin Rothschild, at a purchase price of $300,000.

On March 1, 2017, WKTT changed its format from country to urban contemporary, branded as "Live 97.5" after it was sold to Rojo Broadcasting, LLC for $305,000. [3]
