History
The station signed on the air on November 7, 1972, the day of that year's election. For its first ten years on the air, it broadcast on AM 1140. It reallocated to its present-day frequency of 1160 kilohertz in 1982. The station's transmission tower collapsed during a windstorm in January 1976; it returned to the air the next day with a makeshift antenna. In the 2010s, WKCM also broadcast on two FM translators: Hawesville, Kentucky (92.1 MHz) and Whitesville, Kentucky (97.9 MHz). Additionally, on August 1, 2018, WKCM began simulcasting with sister station WBIO, in addition to dropping the Nash Icon syndicated format from Westwood One, and broadcasting all music and programming locally.
