In 1948 John A. Engelbrecht obtained the WIKY call letters and began broadcasting from the very same building we still broadcast from today, on Mt. Auburn Road on Evansville’s West Side.
The Engelbrecht Family owned and operated WIKY up until 2014, when it was sold to Midwest Communications, the current owner.
WIKY has won countless awards for 75 years of broadcasting; however, the most important thing we do is serve our listeners with news, weather, and traffic information that you can trust, all while playing the best variety of music in the Tri-State.
