KSKS is a commercial radio station located in Fresno, California, broadcasting on 93.7 FM. KSKS airs a country music format branded as "Kiss Country".

Its full name is Kiss Country, although it was nicknamed "Carrie Country" for advertising Carrie Underwood concert at the Save Mart Center.

History

Prior to becoming "Kiss Country" in 1992, the station had an adult contemporary format known as "Y-94" with the callsign KFYE. In the 1980s, Ray Appleton hosted "Lunchtime at the Oldies" on Y-94. Ray would go on to become a popular talk show host at KMJ.

On Thursday, November 16, 2006, CBS radio announced the sale of KSKS and their other Fresno stations to Peak Broadcasting.

Over the Labor Day Weekend in 2010 the Kiss Country website announced that all of their DJ's were taken off the air and all they would broadcast was "a bunch of music". An announcement is expected on Tuesday September 7, 2010, as to the future of KSKS in Fresno.
