History

WKTL began broadcasting on September 13, 1965. and the station's website claims it was the first all student-staffed radio station in the country.

The station was conceived by Struthers High School speech instructor Stephen J. Gercevich, a former radio announcer, to "provide a unique laboratory to put classroom techniques to use".[5]
