WCMT-FM originally began broadcasting in 1968 on 101.7, when manager Dwight "Duke" Drumm persuaded owner Jones T. Sudbury to seek an FM frequency so local sports, including UT Martin athletic games, could be broadcast at night. Prior to this, the ballgames were being taped and aired the next day. The station offered "beautiful music" until about 1978, when a "rock format" debuted. The station then moved to an oldies format and then to the present adult contemporary station.
Effective July 28, 2004 WCMT-FM was given permission to increase its power to 22,000 watts by moving its city of license from Martin to South Fulton, Tennessee and changing its frequency to 101.3 which allowed the stations to serve thousands more listeners.
During the transition from 101.7 to 101.3, WCMT-FM constructed a new 349-foot tower off the Ken Tenn highway near South Fulton which allowed WCMT-FM to send a powerful signal that stretched to Paducah, Kentucky and Jackson, Tennessee. WCMT-FM is the most powerful station in the immediate local market.
