Our Story

KWTO-FM 98.7 The Jock became an ESPN Radio affiliate on January 1, 2015.

It originally went on the air in November 1972 at 98.7 FM with a rock format and was known as "Rock 99." This format lasted well into the 1980's. In 2001, the station adopted an all-sports format and became known as "The Jock, 98.7 FM."
