KWIC (99.3 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a classic hits format. Licensed to Topeka, Kansas, USA, the station is currently owned by Cumulus Media.

History

1992-1993 - KESC

This was a temporary set of call letters.[1]

1993-1996 - KWIC (Satellite Adult Contemporary/Talk "Quick 99.3")

The KWIC call letters were first assigned June 30, 1993. The station went on the air in April of 1994.[2]

1996-1999 - KWIC (Satellite broadcasting Hot Adult Contemporary "Hot 99.3")

This was fed from ABC's Platinum Gold service.[3]

1999-2004 - KWIC (Satellite broadcasting 60s-70s Oldies "Oldies 99.3")

Cumulus swapped formats between 99.3 and 102.9. KWIC picked up the satellite oldies format, although they added local hosts for morning drive and middays. 102.9 picked up a locally-based Top 40 format. But the oldies on 99.3 was faring much, much better.[4]

2004-present - KWIC (Classic Hits "99.3 the Eagle")

Soon after a local country station received a new owner, we got this suspicious format change from Cumulus, which cut into two of their other stations, KDVV and KMAJ-FM. I suspected at the time the owner of that country station had designs on a format change of their own to cut in to KDVV or KMAJ. KWIC has rated in the middle-to-upper part of the ratings for most of its span.[5]
