The station signed on the air at 103.1megacycles on April 19, 1949 (coinciding withEaster Sunday of that year) as Kentucky's first-ever FM-exclusive radio station.

In 1962, both the radio stations and the newspaper were purchased by Elmer Kelley and Hubert M. Wells, who had been part of the station's management since the WFMW/WCIF merger; Kelley became the sole owner of the station in 1970.

Fifteen years later, WKTG increased their transmitter power to 50,000 watts.^[1]: 95
