History

The station signed on May 22, 1968, with a country music format. The license transferred from Service Radio Company, Inc. to Durst Broadcasting Company, Inc. on January 1, 1989, and from Durst to Cornell Blakely on March 20, 2001. WKMG was deleted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on December 2, 2011, for failure to file for the renewal of its license, which expired a day earlier. On October 4, 2017, the FCC informed WKMG that it believed the station had been silent for over a year and ordered the station to provide its full operational status since August 9, 2011; in attempting to inform WKMG on May 10, 2017, of unpaid debts it owed to the commission, FCC staffers discovered that license owner Cornell Blakely had died on December 2, 2013, and that WKMG's phone number had been disconnected. After the FCC's notification was returned as undeliverable, the WKMG license was cancelled on November 9, 2017.
