WENK featured the talents of people like Hank Huggins and Lou Wrather during the early days.

WENK caught the Rock and Roll bug in 1956 and for the most part remained a popular music or Top 40 station until WWKF took that format in 1982.

During this period personalities like J. R. Moore and Ed Taylor were heard on WENK, along with Jolly George and John True.

Present day President and General Manager Terry Hailey followed Gary Powley at WENK in 1968 and has been with the station ever since.

Their sister stations WWGY and WRQR-FM (KF99/KQ105) play contemporary hit music or Top 40, the format they took from WENK in 1982.
