WOKI-FM, previously on the 100,000-watt 100.3 FM frequency (now WNOX) (Oak Ridge, TN license), had a very successful Top-40 format in the early 1970s until 1993 as "FM 100", "Hits 100", and "I-100". The station became known as "The Hitkicker," in 1993 broadcasting a country format until 1998 when they chaged to an Adult Album Alternative format as "100.3 The River" and later, "98.7 The River" and "98.7 Earl-FM" when the WOKI call letters moved to 98.7.
