Turner purchased the radio station in 2006, then operating as WKHC-FM ("Gold 104.3") carrying ABC's satellite "Real Country" format. In 2008 the station changed its moniker to "Thunder 104.3 FM", and changed its format from classic country to a mix of classic rock, southern rock and country music. The station returned its status to locally owned and operated, providing coverage of high school sports, NASCAR racing, along with a wide variety of community coverage and events. Recently the station added Jimmy's Morning Show featuring Radio Manager and DJ Jimmy McBride, and the Afternoon Drive Time Show with Jonathan Carr.
