WKSW (98.5 FM) is a classic rock music formatted radio station broadcasting from Cookeville, Tennessee. The station is owned by Zimmer Broadcasting, LLC.
History
On February 14, 2013, the then-WGIC rebranded from "Magic 98.5" to "98.5 Kiss FM".[2] On February 21, 2013, WGIC changed their call letters to WKSW, to go with the "Kiss FM" branding.
On May 1, 2026 at Noon, after signing off the "Kiss" format with "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd, WKSW flipped to classic rock as "Classic Rock 98.5"; the first song played was "For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)" by AC/DC.[3]
On-Air Staff
Under the Kiss format, the station aired a mostly local airstaff, led off by the "Freak Show In The Morning" with "Freak Dave", with Rae Rae hosting middays, Scooter hosting "Afternoons With The Scoot", Abbey hosting evening shifts, and Jeff MCartne hosting on weekends.
With the move from CHR to classic rock, the airstaff was similarly and unanimously switched, with Compass Media Networks' syndicated Dave & Mahoney set for mornings. General manager Jason Grider will follow in middays. Then-current WPTN afternoon and evening hosts Hoseppy and Troy Ameen were also listed in the same timeslots on WKSW.
