KNKL (FM) (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

KNKL (88.1 MHz) is a contemporary Christian music radio station in Tremonton, Utah, United States. The station is owned and operated by the Educational Media Foundation (EMF) and broadcasts EMF's K-Love programming. For nearly 50 years, the KNKL license was KWCR-FM, which was the student-run radio station of Weber State University in Ogden. In 2012, a demolition of a dormitory that housed the station's transmitter and antenna forced the university to find a new location. However, the university failed to find a suitable site, and KWCR became an online-only radio station in 2015. The university sold the license two years later to EMF, which moved the signal north in 2019 to cover Logan and northern Utah. (en)

The station couldn’t find a suitable location so that led them to realize they might sell the license because they didn’t have a good place. (en)
The value of this [license] declines every day we wait, so we need to sell. (en)
No rock-and-roll or country and western music will be played, as this station will represent Weber State College as an institute of knowledge, not a mighty go-go stomp. (en)
After two decades of bad programming, playing heavy metal music and being on-the-air-off-again, we wanted to make changes that would make an impact and contribute to the college and community, and not be an ear-sore. (en)
