WBKX (96.5FM) is aradio station that is based inDunkirk, New York and also broadcasts at 100.3 FM (via translatorW262BX) in Jamestown, New York. The station, along withWDOE, is owned by Alan Bishop.
The station broadcasts acountry music format at 96.5 MHz in Dunkirk and 100.3 MHz in Jamestown and is branded as "Kix Country." The station broadcasts a local morning show hosted by Tony Lynn. Other dayparts use the Local Radio Network 24-hour country format.
The station was originally known as WCQA, 96.5 "The Bull," also under a country format. Said format was adopted after the demise of the station's longtime country outlet,WBUZ. (Shortly before WBUZ's end, WCQA submitted a petition to theFederal Communications Commission (FCC) to move to theJamestown, New York suburb ofFalconer; however, it was rescinded when WBUZ failed, leaving Dunkirk with WCQA as the lone commercial radio station.) However, after 2000, the station shifted to a satelliteadult contemporary format from ABC and changed their branding to "96 Kix". After a few years, and numerous complaints, WBKX decided to revert to the country format in 2006. In 2009, WBKX began simulcasting at 100.3 FM to make a big competition in Jamestown competing withWHUG "My Country 101.9".
