History

Prior to 2007, the station was known as WKRT ^{[http://wkrt.com]} and was a second-tier News/Talk station, featuring shows such as The Laura Ingraham Show, The Radio Factor, The Sean Hannity Show, Mike Gallagher, Jim Bohannon, The Kim Komando Show, and various other programs. Saga Broadcasting, the owner of WKRT, gave away the station for free to the Bible Broadcasting Network, presumably as a tax-deductible donation, to comply with FCC concentration limits in the Ithaca market due to their purchase of sister station WIII-FM, 99.9. On September 25, 2008 the FCC will review Saga's ownership of stations in the Ithaca market at a special hearing in Washington, DC. [http://www.fybush.com/nerw.html]
