History

Prior to switching to a news/talk format on May 10, 2010, WTRC briefly aired an oldies/classic rock format as "Hippie Radio 1340", and featured programing from Citadel Media and Dial Global. Before becoming "Hippie Radio 1340" in August 2009, WTRC had a similar news/talk format as "News Radio 1340".^[3] On May 5, 2014, WTRC split from the simulcast of WTRC-FM and returned to focusing on Elkhart through a partnership with sister newspaper The Elkhart Truth (from which the "Truth Radio 1340" branding is derived), including a separate morning show; the two stations continue to jointly broadcast most other programming.^[1]

Before adopting the current format 95.3 FM had a classic rock format as WAOR. Following the change in formats WAOR moved, along with the classic rock format, up the dial to 95.7 FM.^[4] 95.3 first began broadcasting as WNIL-FM.^[5] The station also simulcasts Penn High School football from the Regional Radio Sports Network.
