WPFT (106.3 FM) is a conservative talk radio station licensed to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Owned by East Tennessee Radio Group, L.P., WPFT serves the Knoxville, Tennessee area.
History
[edit]"106.3 the Mountain" dropped classic hits late in 2009 for sports talk.[2] On September 29, 2014, the station dropped ESPN Radio for a locally programmed country music format, with an emphasis on music from the 1970s through the 2000s and local news.
In January 2018, they added long-time East Tennessee radio personality, Mike Howard to the line-up with the "Mike in the Morning" radio show. The station has since moved from country to a classic hits format.
On August 7, 2025, WPFT changed their format from regional Mexican (as "Que Buena 106.3") to conservative talk, branded as "Talk 106.3".[3]
