History

WLEX-FM [WKQQ's original call letters] came on the air in 1968 on 98.1 MHz

WKQQ was licensed as a 50 kW facility on 98.1, and increased to 100 kW in 1974. It ran as an Album-Oriented Rock station from this site until the late 1990s, when the FCC mandated that all Class C FMs running 100 kW ERP must be 1,000' HAAT. At this point, WKQQ switched frequencies with the old Winchester, Kentucky Class A FM, received a CP for 20 kW on 100.1 MHz and built a new station and identity. The station now plays a deep tracks-purged rotation of mainstream rock. Winchester received the old 98.1 MHz frequency at the 100 kW power level. WBUL-FM currently occupies 98.1.[3]
