Previous formats include, but are not limited to: Top 40 from the early 1960s thru 1976, album-oriented rock from 1976–1978, an all-disco format in 1978–1979, switching back to Top 40 in the summer of 1979, then adult contemporary in 1980, and a news-talk format from 1981 through 1985. In 1985, WKGN began programming an urban contemporary format, and in 1986, achieved the highest 12+ Arbitron ratings that the station had achieved since the early 1970s. In September 1987 the station briefly changed its call letters to WLIQ with an oldies format. In August 1988 the station became WKGN again and returned to the urban contemporary format in 1989. (en)
