History

In 1958, the station signed on as WCSI-FM, the sister station to WCSI 1010 AM. WCSI-FM was powered at 20,000 watts, less than half its current output. The two stations largely simulcast their programming. By the early 1980s, WCSI and WCSI-FM were airing separate programming.

It became WKKG-FM in 1983. The transmitter effective radiated power (ERP) was increased to 50,000 watts in 1987.{{cite web|title=WKKG History|url=http://www.indianaradio.net/stations/72259.html|access-date=21 December 2012}}{{cite web|title=Finday Publishing Company Information|url=http://www.findlaypublishing.com/|access-date=21 December 2012}}
