WKMC

On July 21, 1955, WKMC first signed on the air from its studios, office and transmitter facility at 1345 South Main Street Extension in Roaring Spring.In March 1956, Cove Broadcasting Company applied for a construction permit to double WKMC's power and replace its transmitter.The FCC granted the request on July 2 that same year to allow the station to run at a thousand watts of power, but retained its daytime-only status.In October 1967, the FCC granted WKMC permission for pre-sunrise authority, which allowed it to sign on no earlier than 6am year-round, at a power of 500 watts.On November 1, 1988, WKMC and WHPA were sold to WHPA/WKMC Inc., a company headed by David G. Mitchell, thus ending more than three decades of the licensee being in the hands of Cove Broadcasting, though ownership principals had changed over the years.
