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." The station became an affiliate of Fox Sports Radio but also carried The Jim Rome Show from CBS Sports Radio daily. On October 23rd, 2014, it was announced that KWTO-FM would drop Fox Sports Radio and affiliate with ESPN Radio effective January 1st, 2015.
