History
[edit]On February 3, 1992, KLNC signed on as KFGE, "Froggy 105.3", and airing a country music format.[5][6] Froggy moved to another new-build station, 98.1 FM, on July 15, 1996, and 105.3 became oldies-formatted "Kool 105.3", KKUL.[7] On August 29, 2005, KKUL would change call letters to KLNC and shift to classic hits, first as "Linc FM", and then, in December 2007, as "105.3 WOW-FM".[8]
On March 19, 2020, after a few days of stunting, KLNC flipped to classic rock as "105.3 The Bone". The format change puts the station in direct competition with KTGL. The Bone plays harder and more rock from the 90s and early 2000s.[9]
