[2] WKBK originally signed on as WNBX on June 2, 1927, in Springfield, Vermont.

In early 2002, WKNE was sold to Saga Communications, along with sister station WKNE-FM.

In 2002, Saga Communications also purchased WKBK 1220 AM, the other AM signal in the Keene radio market, which began the steps for a change in for the impending format flips.

The 1220 facility would pick up the call sign WZBK with the adult standards format (which was later dropped for a simulcast of WKVT in Brattleboro, Vermont).

[3] WKBK began broadcasting on its FM translator, W281AU, on May 16, 2008, after a decision by the Federal Communications Commission.
