The show is affiliated with the Bluegrass Heritage Foundation, a non-profit organization that presents bluegrass music events and related educational programs frequently in Texas. Alan Tompkins, host of the Bluegrass Heritage Radio Show, was nominated for the International Bluegrass Music Association Broadcaster of the Year Award in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2020. Former Programming Throughout its history, the station formerly aired a variety of various local High School and University games. A few months after KAWB signed on in 1969, KAWB began airing McKinney ISD football games. The station later began to air a primary Plano ISD football games focus into their schedule in the early 1970s. For that reason, McKinney ISD games were separately aired on tape delays throughout the rest of the 1970s and into the 1980s into the station's main focus on the flagship Plano's games (such as Plano, and later added Plano East in 1985). A shorter time later, the station became a flagship for Allen ISD games. Throughout parts of the early-to-mid 1980s, more sporting events such as East Texas Baptist University, Baylor University, and a few other NCAA teams' basketball and football games were aired as well. During the 1970s, KMMK had a few original talk programs such as "Daily Bread", a 15-minute program that debuted in 1975 and aired on Monday Mornings at 7:15 AM; and a bible and church service programs that aired every Sunday morning and into the afternoon hours. During the early 1980s, KMMK also aired "Table Talk", a talk program that was hosted by Ray Whitworth and later by C.R. Graham; and had the station's own sports programming simply entitled "Sports Show". During the Adult Contemporary and Top 40 era of KWPL in the 1980s, the station aired news and information (every 20 minutes) across the Collin County area into their schedule.
