    KLNC (105.3 FM, "The Bone") is a radio station broadcasting a classic rock format.[1] Licensed to Lincoln, Nebraska, United States, the station serves the Lincoln area. Studios are located at Broadcast House at 44th Street and East O Street in Lincoln, while its transmitter is located at the master antenna farm at South 84th Street and Yankee Hill Road in the southeast part of the city.

    The station is currently owned by NRG Media, which purchased the station from Triad Broadcasting in August 2007.[2][3]

    History[edit]

    On February 3, 1992, KLNC signed on as KFGE, "Froggy 105.3", and airing a country music format.[4][5] Froggy moved to another new-build station, 98.1 FM, on July 15, 1996, and 105.3 became oldies-formatted "Kool 105.3", KKUL.[6] On August 29, 2005, KKUL would change call letters to KLNC and shift to classic hits, first as "Linc FM", and then, in December 2007, as "105.3 WOW-FM".[7]

    On March 19, 2020, after a few days of stunting, KLNC flipped to classic rock as "105.3 The Bone". The format change puts the station in direct competition with KTGL.[8]
