The current WWKX signed on June 26th 1949 as WWON-FM, the sister station to WWON (now WOON/1240-Woonsocket, R.I..) In the 1970s the station played oldies and in 1986 became WNCK. In 1989 they flipped to Rhythmic Top 40 as WWKX "Kicks 106" (later Kix 106) and had a Dance lean in its first eight years until 1997 when they changed the moniker and its direction towards a R&B/Hip-Hop flavor.

They were also the only Rhythmic Top 40 in the United States to air Howard Stern from 1997 to January 5, 2005, when parent company Citadel Broadcasting ceased airing the show in a dispute regarding Stern's mentioning of his upcoming move to Sirius radio.

The call letters WWKX were assigned to 104.5 in Gallatin/Nashville, Tennessee from 1978 to 1987. This frequency is now occupied by WGFX, also a Citadel station.
