History
[edit]WKJX signed on in 1984 as an automatedcountry musicstation. In 1998, it was sold to East Carolina Radio who flipped the station's format to urban adult contemporary as "Kiss 97". In the early 2000s, the station became a simulcast of sister-stationWOBR-FM.
In May 2004, WKJX increased its power to 50,000 watts and split from the simulcast ofWOBR-FM,picking up a Lightadult contemporary musicformat as "Mix 96."
At 9:06 am on April 2, 2010, after stunting the previous day withBill Cosbystand-up routines, WKJX flipped to an urban hip-hop format, and took on the name "96.7 The Block".[2]
On June 24, 2019 WKJX changed their format from urban hip hop (which moved toWFMZ104.9 FM Hertford) to hot adult contemporary, branded as "96.7 The Coast".[3]
