History
On March 22, 1976, at 10 am, the station signed on as WRCV.[2]
In August 1983, the call letters were changed to WGLL, and the station adopted a oldies format as 92.1 Gold.
In November 1993, the call letters were changed to WSRT, and the station adopted a hot adult contemporary format as Star 92.1.[3]
On February 28, 2005, at noon, the call letters were changed to WPPT, and the station adopted a contemporary hit radio format as 92-1 The Point.[4]
On March 5, 2012, WPPT changed their format from classic country back to Top 40/CHR, branded as "Now 92.1", and changed its call sign to WNUZ.[5]
On November 18, 2016, WNUZ rebranded as "92.1 Hits FM".[6]
On September 27, 2019, the station dropped its contemporary hit radio format again, and began stunting with Christmas music. On September 30, 2019, the station changed its calls from WNUZ to WIKG, and switched to classic hits as "92.1 The Goat".[7]
On October 7, 2024, WIKG changed their format from classic hits to sports, still under the "92.1 The Goat" branding.[8]
