At one time known as "The Big 68" and a Top 40 station of considerable influence, WRKO later became known as one of Boston's most important talk radio stations, featuring local personalities such as Jerry Williams and Howie Carr as well as syndicated hosts such as Rush Limbaugh. It began as WNAC, but was bought out by RKO General and changed its callsign accordingly; when RKO was forcibly divested of its radio properties in 1980, the station kept the callsign.
