WKTI-FM
Encyclopedia
WLWK-FM is a radio station
in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
broadasting at 94.5 FM. The station is owned by the Milwaukee-based Journal Communications
(who also own the city's WTMJ AM
and TV
and the Journal Sentinel), and broadcasts an adult hits
format.
. The station, later becoming WTMJ-FM, made the transition to the 88-108 MHz band after the war (at 102.1 FM but struggled for many years, especially as the company had begun focusing on their new television station. WTMJ-FM signed off the air in 1950. It returned to the air in 1959 at 94.5 FM, and ran automated programming for many years.http://www.fybush.com/sites/2006/site-060324.html
In 1974, the station changed to a stand-alone automated Top 40 format with the nickname of "I-94" (after the main east-west interstate highway
that runs through Milwaukee). Correspondingly, management wanted to change the Call sign
from WTMJ-FM to a pattern of "W??I", but couldn't agree on the middle two letters. Then station manager Jack Lee wanted WWWI, but the DJ's didn't like the idea of saying those tongue-twisting calls on-air. Finally, a sales manager suggested two letters in the name of his wife, Katie, and with that the calls changed to WKTI (for "KaTIe").
I-94 called itself "nonstop stereo rock," and was automated until 1981, when live air personalities were brought aboard. In 1982, WKTI's morning show was originally anchored by Bob Reitman until being paired with Gene Mueller by Dallas Cole in mid 1982. Lips LaBelle joined a bit later as afternoon DJ and promotions director, Danny Clayton joined at the end of 1982 for nights and music director. This nucleus was together at the station for the next 15+ years. Program director Dallas Cole left in 1985 for WLS-FM but later returned as general manager at the age of 25. From WKTI Dallas Cole (now known by his real name, Jeff Rowe) went to VH1, NBC, AOL, Vuze, and now works in the Digital Interactive field as a consultant.
The station saw steady ratings and growth for many years until about 1999, when WXSS-FM (103.7) began to compete for WKTI's audience of mostly women with music from younger artists. Due to a morning show which had been on the air for fifteen years and longtime familiarity with the airstaff by listeners a full-blown reset of the station was impossible. Slow adjustments of the playlists towards "Hot AC" were made instead to attract new and younger listeners, including contests and a Friday playlist called Flashback Friday which featured mostly 80s music.
(103.7), though they continued to play the music of several of the station's heritage artists. In September 2006 the station no longer voiced out the "W" and the branding was changed to 94-5 'KTI, Milwaukee's Hit Music Channel.
On May 15, 2007, WKTI and sister station WTMJ
shifted their morning staff around, moving Gene Mueller to co-host WTMJ's Wisconsin Morning News. The new show Mathew Blades in the Morning launched on the WKTI, with Blades, Erin Austin, and AJ.
's Intelligence for Your Life show, which had a WKTI-programmed playlist between Tesh giving out facts and tidbits between songs.
broadcasts moved over to WKTI to allow Green Bay Packers
radio play-by-play to air on WTMJ, which has the top priority of all of WTMJ's rights most of the time, outside of any playoff coverage for other sports. This was the first time radio coverage of professional or college sports has aired in Milwaukee on the FM band; usually WTMJ and Journal Communications sub-contracts the broadcasts to other AM stations in the market, such as WSSP
and WAUK
. Bucks
and Badger
games continue to be shuffled over to WAUK, WSSP, or WOKY
.
For the first time in Milwaukee radio history, the station aired a Green Bay Packers
game on FM on September 28, 2008 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
, due to the higher priority of the Brewers wild card clinching game for the 2008 NLDS. The Packers aired on WLWK the following Sunday, October 5, 2008, due to a Brewers playoff game. In 2011
, the same conflicts occurred as the Brewers advanced to the 2011 National League Championship Series
, with Packers games against the Saints, Broncos, and Falcons all being bumped over to WLWK while WTMJ carried the Brewers games throughout the pennant race and playoffs.
On July 22nd, 2010 WLWK aired a Milwaukee Brewers game, due to WTMJ's coverage of severe weather.
song "Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover" faded down to give way to "Hello, Goodbye" by The Beatles
, after which Journal Broadcast Group general manager Steve Wexler stepped in to introduce listeners to a new adult hits
format branded as "The New 94.5 Lake FM," with Chicago's "Beginnings
" as the first song played on "Lake FM". Since the flip, the station ran without DJs until December 29, 2008, the current DJ lineup includes Herb Cody in the mornings, program director J. Pat Miller in the late mornings and afternoons and JJ Gerard in the evenings. Matthew Blades, WKTI's last morning host, was the first afternoon host until he left the station. The remainder of the on-air staff was let go, although Lips Labelle's relationship with the Journal stations continues through voiceover work for, among others, WTMJ-TV
and Green Bay sister television station WGBA
(along with voiceover work for CNN
and other stations throughout the country such as Los Angeles's KTTV
). John Tesh's show and The Retro Pop Reunion also no longer on the station, with Tesh eventually landing on crosstown WLDB (93.3), who has a format similar to the old WKTI.
One week after the flip, on November 13, 2008, the FCC approved the station's call letter
change from WKTI-FM to WLWK-FM, with Journal warehousing the WKTI calls
on their adult standards
station in the Knoxville, Tennessee
market (the former WQBB
).
On July 8, 2009, Lake FM received a television compliment, as WTMJ-TV picked up a digital subchannel
network, TheCoolTV
for WTMJ-DT3, which was customized for each market and station's specifications, and fits with WLWK's random playlist. In that case the new channel was marketed as TheCoolTV, powered by 94-5 Lake FM; however the playlists for the television and radio stations remained completely different. Due to a lawsuit filed by Journal against the parent company of the channel, TheCoolTV was discontinued on all of Journal's station as of October 1, 2011 and replaced with either Live Well Network or Me-TV.
