History

WKGB-FM signed on the air on February 11, 1989; 36 years ago (February 11, 1989).^[7] At the time, the station aired an album-oriented rock (AOR) format. WKGB-FM took its call letters from legendary West Coast rock station KGB-FM San Diego. After several decades, WKGB-FM and KGB-FM became sister stations, both owned by iHeartMedia.

In 2000, WKGB-FM was acquired by Clear Channel Communications. Clear Channel changed its name to iHeartMedia in 2014. For several years, WKGB-FM carried Sixx Sense with Nikki Sixx a weeknight national radio show featuring the music of Mötley Crüe and other active rock and heavy metal music artists. It was discontinued at the end of 2017.
