WRKK (1200 AM) – branded Rock 94.9 – is a commercial active rock radio station licensed to Hughesville, Pennsylvania, serving the Williamsport metro area. Owned by iHeartMedia, Inc., WRKK is the local affiliate for Rover's Morning Glory and Sixx Sense with Nikki Sixx. The WRKK studios are located in Williamsport, while the station transmitter resides in Muncy. Besides a standard analog transmission, WRKK is available online via iHeartRadio. WRKK also simulcasts over Williamsport translator W235BA (94.9 FM).
On June 4, 1985, the FCC granted a construction permit to Muncy Broadcasting Inc. for the creation of a new radio station to broadcast at 1190 kHz with 1,000 watts of power, daytime only. On December 12, 1985, the station was granted a license to cover and begin regular broadcast operations.
In January 1988, the station's broadcast license was transferred from Muncy Broadcasting to Pro Marketing, Inc. In May 1989, the license was transferred again from Pro Marketing to Kennedy Broadcasting, Inc. On June 7, 1990, license transfer was consummated once again, this time from Kennedy Broadcasting to North Penn Broadcasting, Inc. In January 1995, North Penn Broadcasting reached a deal to transfer the license to Dame Media, Inc., and the transfer was consummated in July 1995. In August 1998, WRKK was transferred from Dame Media to Clear Channel Communications (acting as Clear Channel Metroplex License Inc.) as part of a 21 station deal. The stock-for-stock deal was publicly valued at $85 million.
