The Cumulus Media outlet is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to broadcast with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 40 kW.

The station returned to the air after the storm passed and broadcast vital information to area residents for weeks afterward.

WKQB was eventually sold in 1991 to a new owner, which took the station to classic-leaning country music as WBUB, "Bubba 107.5", in the Spring of 1991.

On July 5, 2007, WNKT was issued a construction permit to move the station to Eastover, a Columbia suburb.

WNKT's online stream, however, remained intact, and continued to play Garth Brooks' "The Dance."

Effective August 28, 2023, WNKT began a half-day (6 a.m. to 6 p.m.) simulcast on sister stations WWFN-FM in Marion and WSEA in Atlantic Beach.
