Station History

The station signed on at 95.9 FM as WLOW-FM on September 17th, 1966. The station became WPBM in 1980.

In 1986, the frequency was changed from 95.9 to 96.3 as the station increased it's power and moved into Augusta. The station became WRXR with a Album Oriented Rock format under the handle "96-RXR". The station kept the format for the next decade.

In the fall of 1996, WRXR flipped to Alternative rock as "96X". 96X never took off in the market in its 3 years on the air, and was flipped to Urban Adult Contemporary in 1999 with the WKSP call letters.

The station is owned by Clear Channel Communications.
