The station was at one time owned by retired newscaster Lou Adler, who had previously broadcast on WCBS 880.
After the WKFD license was deleted, another attempt was made to build 1370 kHz in Rhode Island, this time from Charlestown.
Astro Tele-Communications Corp., owners of WADK and WJZS, was awarded a construction permit for the frequency in 2006 and chose the WKFD callsign.
The new facility would have utilized 2,500 watts during the day and 5,000 at night—considerably higher than the original WKFD.
