WBKX (96.5 FM) is a radio station that is based in Fredonia, New York. The station, along with WDOE, is owned by Alan Bishop and George Kimble.
The station broadcasts a country music format at 96.5 kHz and is branded as "96 Kix Country." The station broadcasts a local morning show hosted by Danny Wright as well as several local jocks throughout the day. Other dayparts use the Waitt Radio 24-hour format.
The station was originally known as WCQA, 96.5 "The Bull," also under a country format. Said format was adopted after the demise of the station's longtime country outlet, WBUZ. (Shortly before WBUZ's end, WCQA submitted a petition to the FCC to move to the Jamestown, New York suburb of Falconer; however, it was rescinded when WBUZ failed, leaving Fredonia with WCQA as the lone commercial radio station.) However, after 2000, the station shifted to a satellite adult contemporary format from ABC and changed their branding to "96 Kix." After a few years, and numerous complaints, WBKX decided to revert back to the country format in 2006.
