History

The station went on the air as a class A FM station with the call letters WCHN-FM in 1961. It was initially transmitting from the WCHN (970 AM) tower and only had an ERP of 3,000 watts. In 1983, the station was upgraded to a class B FM station and changed its call sign to the current WKXZ.^[4] It moved to a new transmitter site at the former AT&T microwave tower on Tanner Hill, off New York State Route 23. Concurrent with the move, the station increased power from 3,000 watts ERP to 26,000 watts ERP.

On June 17, 2025, WKXZ changed their format from hot adult contemporary to a simulcast of news/talk-formatted WNBF 1290 AM Binghamton.^[5]
