WKBK (1290 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a news/talk format. Licensed to Keene, New Hampshire, United States, the station is currently owned by Saga Communications (through its Monadnock Radio Group) and licensed to Saga Communications of New England, LLC and features programming from CBS News Radio, NBC News Radio, Compass Media Networks, Salem Radio Network, and Westwood One. WKBK originally signed on as WNBX on June 2, 1927, in Springfield, Vermont. The station operated at 1240 kHz. In November 1928, the frequency was changed to 1260 kHz. On December 25, 1940, WNBX signed on from its new location as WKNE. The move to Keene also brought an increase in power to 5,000 watts. In 1941 as part of the NARBA shift, WKNE shifted to its permanent home on 1290 AM. In early 2002, WKNE was sold to Saga Communications, along with sister station WKNE-FM. In 2002, Saga Communications also purchased WKBK 1220 AM, the other AM signal in the Keene radio market, which began the steps for a change in for the impending format flips. In late 2002, Saga Communications moved the talk programming from weaker signaled WKBK to 1290, changing the call sign to WKBK. 1220 would pick up the call sign WZBK with the adult standards format (which was later dropped for a simulcast of WKVT in Brattleboro, Vermont).
