History
The station signed on the air on September 3, 1966,[3] and it has been broadcasting a country music format ever since.[4] Under ownership by Russell County Broadcasters, the station, broadcasting at 103.1 megahertz. was an FM-only station for its first three years on the air. In 1970, the station, along with present-day sister station WJKY, was sold to station manager Welby Hoover, who would own the station and reallocate WJRS to its current frequency. He managed the station until his 1986 death; his wife Mae would manage the station afterwards.[3]Template:R/superscript
WJKY simulcasted the FM station's signal until sometime in the 2000s, when the AM station became an ESPN Radio affiliate. In 2019, WJKY changed over to the JACK Radio format.
