It airs a Christian talk and teaching format with Christian Contemporary music. WKTO is owned by Mims Community Radio, Inc.[2] The studios and offices are on Old Mission Road in New Smyrna Beach.

WKTO alternates Christian talk and teaching programs with Christian Contemporary music. Shows include Focus on the Family with Jim Daly, Family Talk with Dr. James Dobson, Tony Evans and Joyce Meyer.
WKTO submitted an application to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 1989. It received a construction permit but took nearly a decade to complete the work. It signed on the air in 1998; 26 years ago (1998).
In 1989, a Baptist church in Samsula volunteered the use of some of its land for a new taller tower. However, as time passed, the church's plans changed and the offer was withdrawn. A Christian businessman, Richard Crunkilton, offered his 20-acre (81,000 m2) ranch for WKTO's tower. He sold the land in 2006.
Responding to a newspaper article, Dr. Bill Sharp invited the station to put a studio and control room in his Christian Life Center, then on Tenth Street, in New Smyrna Beach.
