It aired a Regional Mexican music format[2] but as of August 2011[update] shut down operations due to "financial difficulties".

On May 24, 1979, the Federal Communications Commission granted a construction permit for a new standard broadcast station at 1010 kHz with 500 watts of power, daytime only.

[4] After several extensions, and nearly five years after the initial application was filed in June 1977, the FCC granted WPYK a license to cover on April 28, 1982.

[6] The same day, April 11, 1986, James O. Powell (trading as JASCO) reached an agreement to sell this station to Earl Fisher.

[9] In December 2001, Paul Tate Johnson reached an agreement to sell this station to Azteca Communications of Alabama, Inc (Javier Macias, owner).

[10] Together, these stations were operated as a network under the branding "Radio La Que Buena" featuring Regional Mexican music and other Spanish-language programming, including Atlanta Braves baseball broadcasts.

[17] In their November 2011 request for authority to remain silent, the license holder cited "financial difficulties" as the reason for taking the station off the air.
