History
WRKF signed on the air on January 18, 1980.[2] It initially was a community-based public radio station. The schedule included classical, jazz, folk music, blues, big bands and adult standards, along with some NPR news shows. The studios were in a temporary building at the transmitter site on Frenchtown Road.
In 1986, the station moved to studios on Valley Creek Drive in the city. By the 1990s, most music shows had been eliminated, leaving a largely news and information schedule of programs.
