It originally broadcast at 1400 kHz and was moved to 1370 in the late 1940s. It has long been the sister station to WDEF-FM and was co-owned with WDEF-TV, before the TV station was spun off to other owners in the 1990s. Luther Masingill was on the station for the Attack on Pearl Harbor and the September 11 attacks. On October 30, 2016, WDEF changed its call sign to WXCT. It had been simulcast with country music station 97.3 WUUQ. On November 14, 2016 at 8 a.m. WXCT dropped the WUUQ simulcast and changed its format to adult album alternative, branded as "Alt 93.9". It began a simulcast on FM translator W230CN at 93.9 FM. On September 1, 2017, WXCT changed its FM translator frequency from 93.9 MHz to 98.7 MHz, as W254DB and rebranded as "ALT 98-7". ==Translator== ==References== ==External links==
