Notes/History:
- 3/2009: License to cover granted for community of license change to Holt and change to two-site operations with new nighttime facility operating at 4,500 watts, an increase from 70 watts. The station had been testing its new nighttime facilities since late in 2008.
- 7/2006: AM stereo returns
- 12/15/2005: Construction permit granted for major change to change community of license from Charlotte to Holt and add a second site for improved nighttime operations. The new nighttime facility would operate with 4,500 watts from a 4-tower array.
- 2004: Major change application filed to change city of license from Charlotte to Holt and increase nighttime power. The possibility of the move is complicated by applications for FM 92.7 to move its city of license from Charlotte to Grand Ledge (leaving Charlotte without its 'local' radio service) and a subsequent application by FM 106.1 to change its city of license from Jackson to Charlotte to backfill the potential changes to AM 1390 and FM 92.7.
