History
WKJX signed on in 1984 as an automated country music station. In 1998, it was sold to East Carolina Radio who flipped the station's format to urban adult contemporary as "Kiss 97". In the early 2000s, 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 music format as "Mix 96."
At 9:06 am 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".[2]
On June 24, 2019 WKJX changed their format from urban hip hop (which moved to WFMZ 104.9 FM Hertford) to hot adult contemporary, branded as "96.7 The Coast".[3]
