History

When the station signed on as WKLW in 1985, it aired a rock and roll music station. In the early 1990s, the station began broadcasting a Gospel radio format. Under new ownership after 1999, the station aired a Conservative Talk Radio format. Ownership changed again in 2010, and the station's format also changed to Sports radio. The sports format aired on WKYH until 2018, before moving to sister station WSIP-AM. WSIP-AM's previous Classic hits format then moved to WKYH. Also in 2018, an fm translator, W257EE, was added to bring WKYH's programming to the FM dial.
