[edit] History of WHKT

Before Radio Disney, WHKT was nostalgic using the 'Timeless Classics' moniker until December 2001. Picked-up the Radio Disney format after it was pulled on AM1450 WBVA over contract and purchasing the station out-right disputes. ABC Radio (now Radio Disney Group) also had to purchase cousin station WPMH/1010 because of FCC rules concerning expanded-band stations. This is Virginia's first expanded band (1610-1700) station. It first signed on in late 1998. Was "Liberty Works" talk until December 2000. They also previously (when known as 'The Big Kat') carried several local sports audio broadcasts including the Norfolk Tides, AHL hockey team Norfolk Admirals and on the weekends some programs aimed at Hispanics.
