WRKN (106.1 MHz, "106.1 The Ticket") is a sports-formatted FM radio station serving the New Orleans area.
Its studios are located at the Place St. Charles building in Downtown New Orleans and the transmitter site is outside Covington, Louisiana.
Kenny Vest was the station's Program Director and Christian Unruh was the first Music Director; Scot Fox, Christian "West" Unruh, Grant Morris, Ross "The Ross Man" Shields, Michelle Hinch (Blake), Zach The Roll Model, Wolfgang, Denver Crabb, and Darren Gauthier were just some of the more recognizable DJs at the station.
The station hosted "Zephyrfest" for a number of years drawing in thousands of rock revelers to New Orleans' City Park.
But after Citadel Broadcasting acquired the station in 2005, they would flip it to "Martini 106.1" on November 15 of that same year, along with the WMTI call letters.
On August 26, 2015, WMTI abruptly dropped the sports format in the middle of "The Jim Rome Show" and began stunting with a loop of "It's The End Of The World As We Know It" by R.E.M.
