A Whitewater radio station is switching formats from Contemporary Country to Classic County.
Magnum Media-owned WKCH is making the change after Magnum launched Bucky Country on WBKY earlier this year.
Magnum carries WKCH programming on WSJY HD-4 . To add Janesville standard FM band coverage for WKCH, WSJY HD-4 is being re-broadcasted on 94.7 W234DR Beloit.
Mornings on WKCH “Klassic Country Hits” 94.7 & 106.5 will be hosted by Magnum Media’s Group Director of Engineering, Chris Tarr. Tarr had been a DJ prior to taking on engineering in 2000. As an engineer, he’s become known to many as “Doc Tarr,” the handle he’ll use on-the-air on WKCH.
Tarr said this won’t be his first rodeo with Classic Country.
“Back in 1989, Duke Wright asked me to do weekends on what was then WGEE in Green Bay, which grew to the overnight shift and eventually nights,” Tarr said. “I developed a real fondness for the format. I often catch myself streaming another Classic Country station in our Magnum group, so when Dave asked me if I’d dust off my headphones, I said, sign me up!”
Magnum Media is currently comprised of 22 Wisconsin stations on 35 signals stretching from the shores of Lake Michigan to the shores of the Mississippi River.
