WKKL
In 1992, WKKL began simulcasting some hours of programming from WBUR, a public radio station in Boston. That relationship ended in 1999, due to WBUR's 1997 acquisition of the 1240 AM facility in West Yarmouth, the signal of which heavily overlaps with WKKL.
In late December 2019, WKKL stopped broadcasting on 90.7 FM due to damage to the station's radio tower. In fall of 2020, repair of the radio tower was made possible by a donation from the Cape Cod Community College Educational Foundation, and the station returned to the airwaves by late December 2020. Today, the station provides programming on air and online as students and alumni DJs are hosting shows featuring WKKL's classic alternative music format as well as a growing number of podcasts.
