History
[edit | edit source].jpg){kind=link}
The station received its construction permit on August 5, 1975, more than a year after filing on May 6, 1974. Northwestern University, owner of co-channel WNUR in Evanston, objected, and the original application was returned and resubmitted.[2] A license to cover was filed for in October 1975.[2] Power was raised from 10 to 250 watts in 1985.[3]
The station was noted for its policy of refusing to play rap with violent lyrics during daytime hours.[4] DJ Rashad later worked as a DJ at WKKC before becoming an electronic musician.[5]
