History
"106.3 the Mountain" dropped classic hits late in 2009 for sports talk.[1] On September 29, 2014, the station dropped ESPN Radio for a locally programmed country music format, with an emphasis on music from the 1970s through the 2000s and local news.
In January 2018, they added long-time East Tennessee radio personality, Mike Howard to the line-up with the "Mike in the Morning" radio show (6am-9am Eastern, weekdays) featuring music, news and local-interest features.
The station has since moved from country to a classic hits format.
