History

The station signed on the air on September 3, 1966, and it has been broadcasting a country music format ever since.[2]

WJKY simulcasted the FM station's signal until sometime in the 2000s, when the AM station became an ESPN Radio affiliate.

gollark: It's not exactly very internally consistent, but humans are *masters* of rationalization.
gollark: It happens still, but they don't know why, and are unable to infer the presence of the antimeme from it.
gollark: This is not really right though. Instead of simulating some ridiculously complex alternate universe without the thing, the human could just be anomalously made to not infer anything from the weirdness caused by the antimeme/not perceive its changes.
gollark: Okay, never mind, I can kind of work it out?
gollark: I don't understand what you're saying here.
