History

In 1994 WXXZ Port Matilda came on air quickly changing call sign to WIKN. Wink 108 programmed a rock-leaning CHR format. Due to a dispute between the license holder and the management group running the station it went dark April 1, 1995.

The station was sold to Telemedia and became a sister station to 97.1 WQWK and 1390 WRSC. The station then came back on the air in the summer of 1995, again as Wink 108, but with a Hot AC format. 107.9s tower was later moved north, power increased to 6,000 watts, and the station then became Cool 107.9 WNCL doing an Oldies format. The call sign was later changed to WJHT (Hot 107.9 ) with a rhythmic CHR with several popular DJs like Mayor Mike Jax and DJ Grooves. The frequency was sold in 2004 became the Christian contemporary radio format of today.
