History

The station signed on the air on March 18, 1946. It was powered at 250 watts and was owned by the Frankfort Broadcasting Company. For most of its history, it had the call sign WFKY, standing for Frankfort, Kentucky. Those call letters are now on sister station WFKY 104.9 FM.
In 2007, 1490 WFKY was acquired by Clear Channel Communications. Clear Channel switched the station's call letters to WKYW and its format to classic hits, branded as "Passport Radio 1490".
In 2015, FM translator W228CL began broadcasting on FM frequency 93.5 MHz as a simulcast of WKYW.
On April 1, 2021, WKYW and W228CL split from their simulcast with WFRT and WKYL and launched a hot adult contemporary format, branded as "Pop Radio 93.5".
On January 2, 2026, WKYW and W228CL changed to classic rock, branded as “93.5 The Goat”.
