History

WTKT first signed on the air on March 16, 1929 as WHP on 1430 kHz with the city of license listed as Lemoyne, Pennsylvania. The transmitter and antenna array were located on Poplar Church Road(40°15′45.10″N 76°54′37.155″W / 40.2625278°N 76.91032083°W / 40.2625278; -76.91032083), just across the river from Harrisburg, in Wormleysburg, Pennsylvania.

In accordance with the NARBA (North American Radio Broadcast Agreement) of 1941, the station changed frequency to 1460 kHz.

In 1948 a new AM station was constructed in Enola, Pennsylvania on 580 kHz. The WHP call letters were migrated to this station and have remained there ever since. 1460 kHz was sold off and became WCMB.
