Since 2007, WKNR has been under the ownership of Craig Karmazin's Good Karma Brands. Relaunched as WRMR in 1985, the station became best known as an adult standards outlet from 1988 to 2001 featuring Bill Randle.Ī complex series of asset swaps resulted in the transfer of WKNR's all-sports format and call sign from 1220 AM to 850 AM on July 3, 2001.

After Art Modell's Lake Erie Broadcasting purchased WJW, the format transitioned into middle of the road in 1978, and again to talk radio in 1982. Under Storer Broadcasting ownership from 1952 to 1977, WJW sported a beautiful music format throughout the 1960s.

WJW also served as an early home for Dorothy Fuldheim, Soupy Sales, and Casey Kasem. During the early 1950s, disc jockey Alan Freed began to popularize the term ' rock and roll' as a name for the music genre both through his late-night radio show, and by what is often considered the first major rock and roll concert: the WJW-sponsored Moondog Coronation Ball.
