WKSN

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

WKSN is an AM radio station based in Jamestown, New York. The talk radio outlet is owned by Media One Group and operates at 1340 kHz.

As WJTN's sister station, WKSN operates as WJTN's overflow. That station, formerly WJTN's rival, signed on in 1948 as WJOC. Most recently WKSN (Kissin' Oldies) was an oldies outlet carrying a local morning show and a midday show by Paul Hoefler (now performing commercial jingles in the area), as well the satellite Good Time Oldies from Jones Radio Networks until it was bought out by Media One in 2003.

While WJTN's programs are mostly local, WKSN is a primarily syndicated operation, with shows such as Rush Limbaugh (counterprogrammed to The Hall Closet on WJTN), Bill Bennett, Dean Edell and Glenn Beck, as well as affiliations with Talk Radio Network and FOX Sports Radio.

WKSN carries high school sports not carried on WJTN. WKSN is also affiliated with CNN News, the New York Yankees, Buffalo Sabres, and the NFL on Westwood One. Jamestown Jammers away games were heard on WKSN for many years but no longer air anywhere on Jamestown radio.
