History

WICO-FM, as it was known at the time, originally broadcast at 94.3 FM. WICO-FM moved up the dial to 97.5 FM in the late 1990s which cleared the way for WINX-FM to sign on the air at 94.3 FM in Cambridge, Maryland.

WKTT and sister station WICO were purchased effective May 12, 2016 from Delmarva Broadcasting Company by Robin Rothschild, at a purchase price of $300,000.

On March 1, 2017, WKTT changed their format from country to urban contemporary, branded as "Live 97.5" after it was sold to Rojo Broadcasting, LLC for $305,000.[2]
