WKSJ-FM (94.9 FM, "95 KSJ") is a radio station licensed to serve Mobile, Alabama, USA. The station is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. and the broadcast license is held by CC Licenses, LLC. Its studios are located inside the building of unrelated television station WKRG on Broadcast Drive in Mobile, and the transmitter is near Robertsdale, Alabama.
WKSJ-FM broadcasts a country music format to the Mobile metropolitan area.
NOTABLE PROGRAMMING INCLUDES: Dan & Shelby and the 95KSJ Breakfast Club on mornings featuring Uncle Henry, Colton Bradford, and Dr. Cory, Bill Black on middays, Jason Taylor on afternoons, Scot Chestnut on nights, and the syndicated After Midnite with Blair Garner from Premiere Radio Networks overnight.
On April 21, 1971, this station signed on as WZAM-FM under the ownership of Broadcast Enterprises, Inc., (who had in turn acquired it from the original permit holders Duke Broadcasting Co. on November 1, 1970) with 31,000 watts of power at 94.9 MHz. In 1972, the station changed its callsign to WKSJ. In 1974, the licensee changed to Capitol Broadcasting Corp. Later in the 1970s, former AM sister station WZAM (now WIJD) changed its callsign to WKSJ which forced a change in this station's call letters to the current WKSJ-FM.
For legal and accounting purposes, the licensee of WKSJ-FM applied to the FCC to shift the license from Capitol Broadcasting Corp. (A West Virginia Corporation) to Capitol Broadcasting Corp. (An Alabama Corporation) in December 1985. The transfer was approved by the FCC on December 24, 1985.
In May 1992, Capitol Broadcasting Corporation agreed to sell this station to Franklin Communications Partners, L.P. The deal was approved by the FCC on July 16, 1992, and the transaction was consummated on September 30, 1992.
