History

The station went on the air as WIGL on December 8, 1987. On November 7, 2003, the station changed its call sign to the current WQKI-FM. [4]

WQKI-FM planned a move to 95.7 FM in Batesburg-Leesville; the owner was Willis Broadcasting from Tennessee before the station was later purchased by Miller Communications, Inc. [5]

Miller Communications sold WQKI-FM, eleven other South Carolina radio stations, and several translators to Community Broadcasters, LLC for $2.5 million, in a transaction that was consummated on January 7, 2016.

In December 2022, WQKI-FM dropped its urban oldies format and began stunting with Christmas music. It launched a classic hip hop format on December 26, branded as "Jamz 95.7". The first song under the new format was 50 Cent's "In da Club". [6]
