History
The station signed on April 28, 1982 as WDON, named after station founder Donald E. Martin[2], on a frequency of 104.9 MHz. On September 16, 1987, Martin organized Ray-Mar Broadcasting Company,[3] which was subsequently sold to the Music Express Broadcasting Corp, who owned nearby station WATJ in Chardon[4]. In 1991, nearby radio station WZLE in Lorain (which operated on the same frequency as WDON) raised its tower height and expanding its signal.[5] Due to this change, WDON experienced major co-channel interference issues, which led to WDON changing its frequency to 104.7, and boosting the signal output to its current level of 6,000 watts.[6] The station's call letters were changed to WKKY on July 10, 1992.[7]
On May 2, 2025, Music Express Broadcasting acquired station WQGR from Media One Radio Group (who would sell its Ashtabula stations to Lilly Broadcasting several months later); the deal closed on June 26 of that year.[8]
