Format

In February 2010, KOKX-FM split away from Citadel Media Networks' "Greatest Mojo" network, formerly known as Classic Hits Radio, and Oldies Radio before that. Until April 2016, it aired what appears to be an Oldies feed from Waitt Radio Networks. After the sale, the station was taken off the air. As of May 2016, the station remained off the air due to needed repairs and "access issues" at the tower site.[3] In August 2016, the station returned to the air as an affiliate of the K-Love radio network.
