WFKS (95.1 FM) is a Top 40 (CHR) station serving Florida's Space Coast area. The iHeartMedia outlet broadcasts with an ERP of 4.3 kW and is licensed to Melbourne, Florida.
History[edit]
The station was branded as 95.1 The Beat until March 14, 2007 with a rhythmic contemporary format.[1]
On July 22, 2011, the station changed its call letters to WFKS,[2] after those calls were dropped by sister station WKSL in Jacksonville earlier in the month upon that station's rebranding as "Radio NOW" (Now KISS FM).
