Because AM 1160 is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A station KSL in Salt Lake City, WSKW must reduce power at night to 730 watts to avoid interference.

It changed the call sign to WQMR in the late 1970s and simulcast the album rock format on co-owned 105.3 WTOS-FM.

Later, it aired an automated classic country format for several years, eventually changing call letters again to WQMR.

A short time later, WSKW returned to the ESPN sports broadcasts it had held previous to September 2009.

On March 14, 2022, WSKW dropped the oldies and talk programming and returned to sports, branded as "1160 The Score".
