Station History
edit1999-2005: Adult Standards
editThe station was originally owned by Big Country of Missouri, Inc., and was issued the KBHO call sign on July 17, 1998.[2] The KWRT-FM call sign was assigned on June 14, 2000,[3] and coincided with a format change to adult standards as "Casino 93.1." Casino 93.1 was originally simulcast on then-sister station KWRT-AM, and featured the Jones Radio Network's "Music of Your Life" satellite feed.[4]
2005-present: Adult Hits
editIn October 2005, the station dropped adult standards in favor of the ABC Satellite Network's Jack FM feed.[5] In January 2011, Billings Broadcasting LLC purchased KWJK.
For a few years, the station aired a local talk show in the morning, The Tom Bradley Show. Today, the station has no DJs and runs the syndicated version of the Jack FM format that airs across the country.
