WWCD (1070 AM "The Zone") is a commercial radio station licensed to Solana, Florida, United States, serving Charlotte County in Southwest Florida, but can be heard as far north as Sarasota and as far south as Marco Island. Owned by iHeartMedia, Inc., it features a sports format with programming from Fox Sports Radio, along with Tampa Bay Lightning games.

History

The station signed on the air on November 19, 1986.[2] Its call sign was WKII and it was owned by Kneller Broadcasting of Charlotte County.

Under the leadership of Kneller Broadcasting, WKII was a full service radio station with major community involvement. It aired a middle of the road (MOR) format with local news and sports. Former air personalities include Jack Mihall, Charlie Shoe and Larry Timko.

In 1997, WKII and its co-owned FM station, 100.1 WCKT (now WZJZ) were acquired by San Antonio-based Clear Channel Communications (now known as iHeartMedia). WKII had an adult standards format.[3]
