Studios of WKMM, located at 106 East Main Street in Kingwood.

Founded by Sandy Sue Garlitz, WKMM launched on December 2, 1987, and has always had a country format. It was the first FM band station in Preston County.

WKMM had previously went by the branding "96-7 KMM" until 2005, when it began using the "K-Country" moniker. Also in 2005, WKMM began using "StormTracker 12" weather reports over the air from local NBC affiliate, WBOY-TV in nearby Clarksburg.

In December 2009, WKMM became Preston County, West Virginia's first radio station to broadcast live online.

In late 2010, WKMM dropped weather reports from WBOY and began using AccuWeather radio reports, branded as "SkySource Weather".
