WMKT officially signed on the air on July 20, 1974, originally using the call letters WVOY.[3] The station operated on 1270 kHz and initially served the Charlevoix and Petoskey areas with a variety of local programming. Over the following decades, the station underwent several call sign changes, briefly becoming WKOS in May 1986 and WKHQ in June 1986, before adopting its current identity as WMKT in July 1989.[4]
The station is an affiliate of several major sports networks, including the Detroit Tigers Radio Network and the Michigan Sports Network (Learfield), carrying Michigan Wolverines football and basketball games.[5] Locally, WMKT provides a vital overflow for high school sports; during scheduling conflicts with Detroit Tigers games, the station carries live play-by-play for Petoskey Northmen football and basketball.[6]
