WIKS

WIKS (101.9 FM) is an mainstream urban-formatted broadcast radio station licensed to New Bern, North Carolina.

The 101.9 FM frequency in New Bern signed on with an Album-oriented Rock format in August 1977 as WRBK ("K101").

[2] Due to the nature of its frequency at 101.9 and the advent of digital tuners, the slogan was changed to "K102" in the summer of 1978.

Rap and hip-hop music was introduced in the 1990s, as WIKS became a full modern mainstream urban station by 1998.

In 1997 WIKS picked up competition from the 92.3 frequency when WQSL adopted a rhythmic top 40 format as "The Beat of Carolina".
