History

The license for the station that would later be known as WKTX was first issued in October 1982. It signed on the air on April 1, 1985 by Cortland Broadcasting Company, a company owned by the Skip and Nancy Hoffman and Glen Barker Families with the call letters WLND. For many years, the station had studios and offices in Cortland, with the original location along Route 5 (Elm Street Extension). The format at the time of sign-on was country, oldies, and farm information.

In February 1989, the station was sold to the Trumbull County Broadcasting Company, owned by Patrick Engrao, the station switched its calls to WKTX. In this station's formative years, it was the sister AM station of WLLF, licensed to Mercer, Pennsylvania. During this brief period of common ownership, that station was known as WKTX-FM.
