The station was assigned the WKXN call letters by the Federal Communications Commission for its initial launch in 1977.[2]

In September 1994, original owners WKXN, Inc., made a deal to sell this station to Autaugaville Radio, Inc. The deal was approved by the FCC on November 17, 1994, and the transaction was consummated on November 23, 1994.[3]
