===Various format changes, then a return to oldies=== The "Golden Rock" format fizzled after a few years, and the station went through a long string of format changes. On November 12, 1984, WWTC adopted a unique locally oriented [[urban contemporary]]/[[alternative rock]] hybrid format that was called "Metro Music." "Metro Music" ended in September 1985 and, following a month of top-40/Adult Contemporary music, an "all-weather" format made its debut. The automated format was unsuccessful for a few reasons, one of which was WCCO Radio's news/weather dominance, especially during extreme conditions. And WWTC's weather format was sometimes heard playing inaccurate information, such as the day's forecast for sunny weather while a storm was overtaking the area. "Weather Radio 1280" was blown out after 10 months. "Sunny 1280" was next, a 16-month run as [[adult standards]] using new call letters, KSNE (effective June 20, 1986). In November 1987, the station became known as "The Breeze", taking a satellite feed of an early and more diverse form of what is now known as "[[smooth jazz]]" from a service run by the former owner of [[KQQL|KTWN 108]]. On May 27, 1988, the station switched back to the legacy WWTC call letters and a second run with the 'Golden Rock' format.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-RandR/1980s/1988/RR-1988-06-03.pdf#page=4|pages=4 |title=KSNE Switches Back To Golden Rock WWTC|publisher=Radio & Records|access-date=September 11, 2023|date=June 3, 1988}}</ref> During this period, it operated from 215 South 11th Street, in a building in which [[KMNB|WCCO-FM]] (now KMNB) was located for many years.
