History
KEKS signed on in November 2006 as a CHR station under the ownership of Andrew Wahcter. KEKS quickly transformed into an adult contemporary station as "Channel 103.1" in 2007, then reverted to CHR in 2008. My Town Media bought the station in 2012. KEKS signed on an HD2 channel simulcasting KSNP from Burlington, Kansas originally. After a stint with country music as "My Country 94.1" (which was broadcast on translator station K231AY 94.1, before it was relocated to Wichita), the HD2 subchannel currently simulcasts sister station KHDL (99.5 FM), which airs ESPN Radio programming.[2]
