History

The Federal Communications Commission granted Sunbury Broadcasting Corporation a construction permit for the station on September 14, 1945 with the WKOK-FM call sign. Originally assigned to 100.3 MHz, the FCC reassigned the station to 99.3 MHz on November 11, 1945, followed by another reassignment to 94.1 MHz on June 27, 1947. [4]

The station signed on for the first time in 1948. [5] The FCC granted the station its first license on February 17, 1949. [4] Until 1975, the station simulcast the programming of WKOK (AM). [5] In 1978, the call sign was changed to WQKX. [5]
