WCTA was a class D facility licensed to broadcast with 250 watts of power on a frequency of 810 kHz, operating only during daylight hours to protect both KGO in San Francisco, California, and WGY in Schenectady, New York, from skywave interference.
The station was launched in 1983 airing a full service format mixing country & western and middle of the road music with news and farm programming.
[9] In August 1981, Crockett Broadcasting notified the FCC that control of the company had passed from Ralph Clenney and Branson Townsen to Roy Davis.
[13] In December 1996, Gary Morris Reasons notified the FCC of his intent to transfer the WCTA broadcast license to Billy Hugh Williams.
[14] After a period of sporadic operation, the station went completely dark in early 2008 due to the declining health of license holder Billy Hugh Williams.
Effective October 5, 2015, WCTA's license was assigned to Robert Davis' Alamo Media LLC in exchange for forgiveness of a debt of $43,500.
