KSKS (93.7 MHz) is a commercial FM radio station located in Fresno, California. The station is owned by Cumulus Media and it airs a country music radio format branded as "Kiss Country". Its studios are located at the Radio City building on Shaw Avenue in North Fresno and its transmitter is off Auberry Road in Meadow Lakes, California. 93.7 Kiss Country has local DJs during the day and in the evening runs the syndicated Nash Nights with Shawn Parr from Nash FM, a subsidiary of Cumulus Media.
KSKS is licensed to broadcast in the HD (digital hybrid) format. As one of the oldest FM stations in the Fresno media market, the station is considered a grandfathered superpower station. Its effective radiated power is 68,000 watts at a height above average terrain of 580 meters (1903 feet). Stations at that height in Central California should run less than 3000 watts, according to current Federal Communication Commission rules for Class B regions. But KSKS went on the air in 1946, founded before the rules were put in place.
KRFM were the original call letters when the station first signed on in 1946. The first owner was Paul Bartlett, a Fresno radio station pioneer. The station's studios were at the transmitter site in Meadow Lakes.
