History
[edit]WKTO submitted an application to theFederal Communications Commission(FCC) in 1989. It received aconstruction permitbut took nearly a decade to complete the work. Itsigned onthe air in 1998.
In 1989, aBaptistchurch inSamsulavolunteered the use of some of its land for a new tallertower.However, as time passed, the church's plans changed and the offer was withdrawn. A Christian businessman, Richard Crunkilton, offered his 20-acre (81,000 m2) ranch for WKTO's tower. He sold the land in 2006.
Responding to a newspaper article, Dr. Bill Sharp invited the station to put a studio and control room in his Christian Life Center, then on Tenth Street, in New Smyrna Beach.
