WFRT-FM
History
The station was assigned the call sign WKED-FM on February 1, 1991; it signed on April 15, 1991, with an Adult Contemporary format branded as "D103-7", changing to "Star 103-7" a few years later. On April 1, 2008, the station changed its call sign to WSTV-FM when Clear Channel sold their Frankfort stations to Forever Communications. The station relaunched on June 9, 2008, with a Hot Adult Contemporary format, keeping its "Star 103-7" branding.
On March 25, 2019, the station changed its call sign to WFRT-FM. Three days later, WFRT-FM changed its format to a simulcast of classic hits-formatted WKYW (1490 AM), branded as "Passport Radio". On December 16, 2019, CapCity Communications took control of WKYL (102.1 FM) in Lawrenceburg via a local marketing agreement and began simulcasting the "Passport Radio" format on that station. CapCity Communications purchased WKYL from Davenport Broadcasting in early 2020.
