It was WHUE-FM.  The AM was 1150, which was sold in early 1985 and, by
March had become WMEX, with oldies programming.  I always assumed that
WKKT was simply a transitional format and callsign, to keep the station
going until new ownership took over with a new format.  The station had
previously been WTTK, sometime in the 70s.  I assume they probably wanted
the WTTK calls again but couldn't get them.
