WMKX is a classic/modern rock music formatted radio station for northwestern Pennsylvania, broadcasting at 105.5 FM. The station, owned and operated by Strattan Broadcasting, is licensed to Brookville, Pennsylvania, the seat of government for Jefferson County.
WJNG, licensed to Johnsonburg, is a full co-owned simulcast outlet of WMKX.
First issued a construction permit on June 6, 1980; WMKX first went on the air at the frequency of 95.9 in 1981, and became the second FM station in Jefferson County, as WPXZ, 15 miles southeast in Punxsutawney had been the first eight years before.
WMKX was founded by Stephen S. Strattan and Joseph Donald Powers, adopting the moniker "Magic 96". It went on the air with a mostly automated format of adult contemporary music, which it would maintain until the late 1990s. Studios and offices were first located at 205 Main Street in downtown Brookville.
In 1984, Jim Farley took over company president duties from Stephen Strattan.
Oh I need you here to start off another year
I gotta say it's felt so cold with you far away
And the tree wont look right without you hear tonight
So pretty baby catch the midnight flight
Cause bright lights and silver stars
Shine over my head
And people go passing by
I see them holding hands oh
The streets are all covered with snow
There's no way to drive yourself home
But there's not a cloud up in the sky
So pretty baby catch the midnight flight
I sit and wait with your gift so patiently
The hour is late
So before they close the gate
Park in a red light and catch the midnight flight
Cause bright lights and silver stars
Shine over my head
And people go passing by
I see them holding hands oh
The streets are all covered with snow
The buses have no where to go
But the pilot is taking off tonight
Oh pretty baby catch the midnight flight
Cause bright lights and silver stars
Shine over my head
And people go passing by
I see them smiling with friends
So baby come back to me
I'm hanging out under the tree
Watching some lovers skate on ice
