History

While it was still a construction permit, the station was assigned the WKLF call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on March 4, 1947.^[3] WKLF signed on the air on November 2, 1947; 77 years ago (1947-11-02). It originally broadcast on 980 AM.

WKLF added an FM station at 97.7 MHz in 1953. That station today is WRYD in Jemison. In the 1960s and 70s, they were owned by the Southern Broadcasting Company.^[4]

Marion W. Easterling once hosted a Southern Gospel radio show on WKLF.^[5]
