WKSD (99.7 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a locally produced classic hits format. Licensed to Paulding, Ohio, United States, the station is owned by First Family Broadcasting and features news programming from ABC News Radio.[2][3]

History

[edit]

The station went on the air as WKSD on June 7, 1989. On April 10, 1992, the station changed its call sign to WERT-FM, and on September 6, 1996, changed back to the original WKSD.[4]

WKSD serves as a sister station to WERT (AM) 1220 kHz in neighboring Van Wert. The original WERT-FM at 98.9 in Van Wert is now WBYR, a Fort Wayne market station no longer co-owned with WERT. That station has since changed its city of license to Woodburn, Indiana.
