[edit] Station History
WKSX signed on August 26th, 1985 as the FM to 1190 WJES-AM/Johnston, simulcasting full-time. Both stations had a mostly satellite-fed Adult Contemporary format, with local high school sports. For a time in the late 80s/early 90s, the station would feature Album Rock at night, but was gone by the fall of 1991, replaced with Oldies. The station segued into Oldies full-time by 1992 as "Oldies 92.7".
In 1996, WKSX was paired with 92.1 WJRQ in Saluda, South Carolina. WJRQ became WJES-FM and both stations became "The Twins", still with an Oldies format. This lasted until 2004, when WJES-FM was sold and moved to Irmo, South Carolina, becoming WWNU. Since the sale, WKSX has continued with the Oldies format.
The station is owned by Michaelsen Communications LLC.
