WKKC (89.3 FM) is an educational non-profit radio station in Chicago, Illinois, owned by Kennedy–King College and broadcasting primarily to the city's South Side. The studio and transmitter are at the campus in the school's Englewood neighborhood. The station is used to train students in broadcasting and communications.
The station broadcasts in HD Radio with two subchannels, an urban adult contemporary format on HD1 and classic hip hop on HD2.
History
The station received its construction permit on August 5, 1975, more than a year after filing on May 6, 1974. Northwestern University, owner of co-channel WNUR in Evanston, objected, and the original application was returned and resubmitted.[2] A license to cover was filed for in October 1975.[2] Power was raised from 10 to 250 watts in 1985.[3]
The station was noted for its policy of refusing to play rap with violent lyrics during daytime hours.[4] DJ Rashad later worked as a DJ at WKKC before becoming an electronic musician.[5]
