The station is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to broadcast at 92.7 FM with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 1.8 kW.
Both stations had a mostly satellite-fed adult contemporary format, with local high school sports.
For a time in the late 1980s/early 1990s, the station would feature album rock at night, but was gone by the fall of 1991, replaced with oldies.
Since the sale, WKSX-FM continued with the Oldies format and featured Carolina Beach Music programming on the weekends.
The station was owned by Michaelsen Communications LLC until it was sold effective October 8, 2020, to the Power Foundation, owner of The Life FM network, which changed the format to Southern Gospel.
