The station signed on the air on November 1, 1947, as Bowling Green's second commercial radio station and the station for
The Park City Daily News. The station was originally affiliated with
ABC Radio. In the early years, while WKCT struggled in terms of listener support, but their commitment to local news and farm news led to the station's news division winning several
Associated Press news awards. The station played an
Adult contemporary format, along with at least 10 hours of
country music programming per week during the 1970s and 1980s. It then switched to a news/talk format at some point before 1990.
WKCT on the FM dial On January 23, 2017, WKCT signed on a new FM translator to broadcast on a 24-hour basis. W281BV broadcasts WKCT's night programming at 104.1
Megahertz on the
FM dial for the purpose of providing its nightly schedule, because WKCT is required to power down at sunset under the FCC-approved license, and in order to avoid interference with other AM signals broadcasting at 930 kHz. “Talk 104.1 FM” is the overall tenth commercial
low-powered FM repeater in the Bowling Green/
Glasgow radio market. It also makes WKCT the third AM radio station in the immediate Bowling Green area simulcasting radio programming on an FM repeater after
ESPN Radio station
WWKU and
Fox Sports Radio affiliate turned
Classic country station
