WRKF was launched on January 18, 1980. Initial programming was typical for a community-based public radio station of that time. It included classical, jazz, folk, big-band standards, and NPR news. Studios were in a temporary building at the transmitter site on Frenchtown Road. In 1986, the station moved to its current location on Valley Creek Drive in the city. Current President/General Manager is David Gordon.
