WKTO (88.9 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a Contemporary Christian format. Licensed to Edgewater, Florida, United States, the station serves the Daytona Beach area. The station is owned by Mims Community Radio, Inc.[1]

History

WKTO submitted an application to the FCC in 1989. It received a permit to construct and go on the air in 1997, and began broadcasting in 1998. In 1989, a Baptist church in Samsula had volunteered the use of some of its land for a tower. However, as time passed, church plans changed and a Christian businessman, Mr. Richard Crunkilton, offered his 20-acre (81,000 m2) ranch for WKTO's 300' tower, until selling the land in 2006. Responding to a newspaper article, Dr. Bill Sharp invited the station to put the studio and control room in the Christian Life Center, then on Tenth Street, in New Smyrna Beach.
