WOKS (1340AM) is aradio station broadcasting anurban oldies format. Licensed to serveColumbus, Georgia, United States, the station serves the immediate area around Columbus and suburbanPhenix City, Alabama. The station is currently owned by Davis Broadcasting, Inc. of Columbus.^[2] Itsradio studios are co-located with four othersister stations on Wynnton Road in Columbus east of downtown, and its transmitter is located in Columbus southeast of downtown.

In late February 2016, Davis'W243CE FM 96.5, located all the way on the far northeast edge ofmetro Atlanta, was given aconstruction permit to move to Columbus. Thebroadcast translator will air WOKS on 97.5 with 250 watts from aheight of 53 meters (174 ft). Ordinarily prohibited, the long-distance move is allowed under the FCC's "AM revitalization" program, which allows AM stations (but not other low-power community stations likeLPFM) to take existing FM translators and the service they provide away from their current areas and use them to duplicate their own service in the same area the main station already serves, without having to overlap the translator's previousservice contour.
