01History
From April 13, 1998, until March 2004, WKYG aired Radio Disney, a format targeted towards tweens and young teens.
On June 25, 2024, WVNT dropped its previous conservative talk radio format and began stunting with a loop of "Pop" by NSYNC; this led into a flip back to contemporary hit radio as "Pop! Radio" on June 28 at 10 am. This was predicated by Seven Mountains Media applying for new callsign WPKB for the station, as well as the company using the same stunt for "Pop! Radio" launches in other markets. The station brands as "Pop! Radio 103.5" in reference to its translator at 103.5 FM.
