History

On February 3, 1992, KLNC signed on as KFGE, "Froggy 105.3".[4] Froggy moved to another new build station, 98.1 FM, on July 15, 1996, and 105.3 became oldies-formatted "Kool 105.3", KKUL.[5] In September 2005, KKUL would change call letters to KLNC and shift to classic hits, first as "Linc FM", and then, in December 2007, as "105.3 WOW-FM".

On March 19, 2020, after a few days of stunting, KLNC flipped to classic rock as "105.3 The Bone". The format change puts The Bone in direct competition with KTGL.[6]
