History

The Federal communications Commission has awarded a construction permit for a new radio station, with WTCJ as its assigned callsign to local businessman James Rowland Brewer on December 17, 1946. Under ownership by Brewer's newly-formed business, the Tell City Broadcasting Company, the station signed on in March 1948.[1]

Recent developments

The station had been broadcasting an oldies format until August 1, 2014, when it switched to an adult hits format. The station launched an FM translator, Cannelton-licensed W227CO, that year.

On February 1, 2017, it began broadcasting an urban contemporary format as 93.3 The Vibe. This ended when it returned to their adult hits format in August 2020, this time as part of the Jack FM.
