WKSN

WKSN (1340 AM, "Kissin' Oldies 1340") is a radio station based in Jamestown, New York. The oldies outlet is owned by Media One Group and operates at 1340 kHz.

WKSN, formerly WJTN's rival, signed on in 1948 as WJOC. It used the call sign WXYJ in the 1960s. For most of its early history, WKSN played a Top 40 format A television sister station, WNYP (channel 26), signed on in 1966, when both stations were owned by Bud Paxson; channel 26 shut down after three years and its license is now being used by a religious station. During the 1990s and early 2000s, WKSN (Kissin' Oldies) was an oldies outlet carrying a local morning show and a midday show by Paul Hoefler (now performing commercial jingles in the area), as well the satellite Good Time Oldies from Jones Radio Networks until the station was bought out by Media One Group, LLC in 2003.

Soon after Media One's purchase, WKSN became a primarily syndicated talk radio operation until the summer of 2008, with shows such as Rush Limbaugh (counterprogrammed to a liberal program known as The Hall Closet on WJTN), Imus in the Morning, Bill Bennett, Dr. Dean Edell and Glenn Beck, as well as affiliations with Talk Radio Network and FOX Sports Radio. On July 4, 2008, WKSN switched back to the oldies format. With the change to oldies (and The Hall Closet's discontinuation), Edell, Beck and Ed Schultz were moved to sister station WJTN (Schultz actually began airing on WJTN on June 23, 2008 in Ray Hall's time slot, so both WJTN and WKSN were airing Schultz from June 23 to July 3, 2008), while Rush Limbaugh was, for a time, dropped from the market altogether.
