History
WKJX signed on in 1984 as an automated country station. In the early 1990s, it was sold to East Carolina Radio who flipped the station's format to Urban Adult Contemporary. In the late 1990s, the station became a simulcast of sister-station WOBR-FM.
In May 2004, WKJX increased its power to 50,000 watts and split from the simulcast of WOBR-FM, picking up a Light Adult Contemporary format as "Mix 96."
At 9:06am on April 2, 2010, after stunting the previous day with Bill Cosby stand-up routines, WKJX flipped to an urban hip-hop format, and took on the name 96.7 The Block.".
