In the early 1980s, the station was called WZKX. In 1987, the owner of the station switched from the 107.1 signal to the 107.9 signal because the 107.9 range was a stronger signal. The WZKX calls were applied to 107.9. 107.1 took the name WXLS and played adult contemporary music.
In 1997, WXYK "Kiss 105.9" which played Top 40 Hits moved to 107.1 as KISS 107. Classic rock replaced the top 40 format on the 105.9 signal. In 1999, the station switched their name to "107.1 the Monkey". The station's original slogan was "Party Music for Humans" and they had more of a dance lean. The station has since morphed into a more conventional Top 40 format.
