A Spanish and Portuguese language program is featured on Sunday evenings. For many years, WKKL simulcast some hours of programming from Boston public radio station WBUR from 1992.[3] That relationship ended in 1999, due to WBUR's 1997 acquisition of the 1240 AM frequency in West Yarmouth, the signal of which heavily overlaps with WKKL.[4] WKKL is proud to broadcast its student-driven programming 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
