[edit] History

WKJC first began broadcasting on 103.9 with an effective radiated power of 3,000 watts. The station received a construction permit in 1989 to move to 104.7 and increase its power to 50,000 watts. WKJC made the move in 1991 to 104.7.

Between 1993 and 1998, WKJC was simulcast on WKJZ 94.9 FM in Hillman, Michigan. In 1998, WKJZ was switched to a simulcast of WKJC's sister station, classic rocker WQLB 103.3 FM (now adult hits as "Hits FM"), which is also located in Tawas City.
