WTKS-FM has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 100,000 watts, the maximum permitted for non-grandfathered FM stations.

The HD2 digital subchannel carries a mainstream urban format known as "104.5 The Beat", which feeds FM translator W283AN at 104.5 MHz.

Weekdays begin with "Monsters in the Morning", followed by "The News Junkie", "The Jim Colbert Show", "A Corporate Time with Tom & Dan" and "Real Laughs".

It played quarter hour sweeps of mostly instrumental cover versions of popular songs, as well as Broadway and Hollywood show tunes.

Guy Gannett purchased WRKT-FM in 1981 with the intent of upgrading the 30,000-watt station to 100,000 watts from a new tower near Bithlo.

Later that year, Gannett sold its radio stations in Orlando and Miami to concentrate on its television properties.

WHVE then changed its calls to WWNZ-FM, and began simulcasting WWNZ's talk format, though it would air a few separate shows.

[14][15][16] In May of that year, Press Broadcasting initiated the WTKS calls and the "Real Radio" format, which was talk shows during the week (including Howard Stern from May 1994 through February 2004[17]) and alternative rock on the weekend.

On June 21, 2007, Clear Channel announced the request of transfer for their entire Orlando cluster into the Aloha Station Trust upon the consummation of the impending company buyout.

After the show was cancelled on June 26, 2013, Bailey went to CBS Radio's WZGC-FM in Atlanta to co-host The Morning Grind with Randy Cross and Kristen Ledlow.
