Before October 2005, the station was oldies WTKL. WTKL was at one time beautiful music WBYU before going through a succession of ill-fated formats from country as WQXY from 1987 to 1990 and adult contemporary as WMXZ from 1990 to 1993 before settling on an oldies format that lasted for 12 years as Kool 95.7 FM.
Due to flood damage to its transmitter in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, WKBU and WTKL switched frequencies in early-October 2005.
