WKKG (101.5 FM, "Indiana Country 101.5 WKKG") is a commercial FM radio station broadcasting a country music radio format.[1] Licensed to Columbus, Indiana, the station serves the South-Central Indiana area. It is owned by White River Broadcasting Co. Inc.[2]
In 1958, the station signed on as WCSI-FM, the sister station to WCSI 1010 AM. WCSI-FM was powered at 20,000 watts, less than half its current output. The two stations largely simulcast their programming. By the early 1980s, WCSI and WCSI-FM were airing separate programming.
It became WKKG-FM in 1983. The transmitter effective radiated power (ERP) was increased to 50,000 watts in 1987.[3] [4]
