WHKF (99.3 FM, "KISS-FM") is a commercial FM radio station licensed to serve Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The station is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. through licensee Clear Channel Broadcasting Licenses, Inc. and broadcasts a contemporary hit radio (CHR) format. WHKF is one of the many "KISS-FM" branded stations owned by iHeartMedia, Inc.
The station first signed on the air in July 1965 by Hudson Broadcasting Corp. as WSFM. The studios and transmitter were co-located with WCMB on Poplar Church Road (40°15′45.10″N 76°54′37.155″W / 40.2625278°N 76.91032083°W) in Wormleysburg, Pennsylvania. Through the 1960s and early 1970s the station's format was MOR like its sister station, but it did not duplicate WCMB. In 1978 the station rebranded as ROCK 99 with a format change to CHR ("Top 40") and began competing with WKBO AM 1230 and WQXA-FM Q-106 (in York, PA).
In 1981, the format was changed to adult contemporary and the branding to WSFM-99, then Sunny 99-FM. For a short time in the mid-1980s, it was a CHR station branded as 99 HIT-FM with the WHIT call sign. In 1988 Barnstable Broadcasting purchased the station. The call sign was changed to WIMX, the branding to Mix 99.3 and the format to rhythmic CHR. The station changed call signs to WYMJ in 1995 but did not change format.
