The station, which began broadcasting on May 6, 1951,[1] was owned by Door County Radio Co., co-owned with the biweekly Door County Advocate newspaper, with a minority ownership held by the Bartell Group.
[2] That same year, two of the original stockholders, Mr. and Mrs. Sumner Harris, were killed in their home.

A merger of the two stations had been discussed for two years, as it was felt that the community could not sustain both of them.
