History
The station initially signed on the air on June 15, 1965, as a 10-watt station operating at 91.1 megahertz, operating for four hours daily.[1]Template:R/superscript A Morehead State University student's term paper in the 1950s was the source of inspiration; the idea caught the attention of then-university president Adrin Doran. Upon signon, WMKY was the first regional state college to build a facility of its kind.[2] Following receipt of a grant from the Kentucky Department of Health, Education and Welfare in 1969, the station would eventually be upgraded to a 50,000 watt facility the following year; the upgrade also heralded a frequency change to 90.3 megahertz.[2]Template:R/superscript The station became an NPR member station in 1970.[2]Template:R/superscript It became a 24-hour radio service in 1999.[1]Template:R/superscript
