History
KAGT was originally a Southern gospel radio station that served the Abilene, Texas, area. The station was owned by Gospel Radio Network until December 2006 when the license was transferred to the Educational Media Foundation.[1]
KAGT 1490 was an AM radio station located in Anacortes, Washington, from 1957 until 1987 when the station's owner at the time, Bill Berry, changed the frequency down to 1340, opted to embrace his own Irish heritage and rebrand the station with the calls KLKI and market the station as "Lucky 13" before dropping that in favor of simply "1340 KLKI."[citation needed] Prior to the call change, AM 1490 KAGT billed itself "The Voice of Skagit County". The same station, had yet another call change to KWLE in 2007, branding itself as "The Whale." This station has been sold, from San Juan Communications to Astral Media, along with AM 1110 KRPA (formerly KWDB Oak Harbor) and will soon become a foreign language rimshot station, aiming non-English, non-American programming to Victoria, B.C., Canada.
