Although located in Pensacola, Florida, the station is considered part of the Mobile, Alabama market. This is due to Clear Channel Communications shutting down or selling radio stations not located within the top-100 markets.

WTKX features long term air personalities "Lex & Terry" and "Mark the Shark " who also serves as the Asst. Program Director.
