==History==
"106.3 the Mountain" dropped [classic hits](/source/classic_hits) late in 2009 for sports talk.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.radio-info.com/sections/2/news_items/7192-formats-frequencies|title=Formats and Frequencies|publisher=radio-info.com|date=2009-10-14|accessdate=2010-01-21}}{{Dead link|date=March 2026 |bot=InternetArchiveBot }}</ref> On September 29, 2014, the station dropped [ESPN Radio](/source/ESPN_Radio) for a locally programmed [country music](/source/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".<ref>[https://radioinsight.com/headlines/306150/wpft-flips-to-conservative-talk/ WPFT Flips to Conservative Talk] Radioinsight - August 7, 2025</ref>
