WFTK
WFTK (96.5 MHz, "96 Rock") is a commercial FM radio station licensed to Lebanon, Ohio, and serving the Cincinnati metropolitan area. It is owned by Cumulus Media and broadcasts an active rock radio format, known as "Cincinnati's Pure Rock." The studios and offices are on Montgomery Road in North Cincinnati.
WFTK has an effective radiated power of 19,500 watts. The transmitter site is off Tylersville Road near U.S. Route 42 in Mason, Ohio.
The station began in 1958 as WQMS (which stood for "Quality Music Station"), playing beautiful music. In 1968, the station became a religious station and played contemporary Christian music. The station was originally licensed to Hamilton, Ohio, but the city of license was changed to Lebanon in a deal with Infinity Broadcasting in 2002.
After the station was sold in 1977, the station switched to an adult contemporary/Top 40 format under the call letters WLWS.
In 1979, the format changed to Top 40 as "Kiss 96", using the call letters WSKS.
By 1983, WSKS was playing a mix of classic rock and modern rock and changed their slogan to "96 Rock".
On September 29, 1986, the format switched again, this time to country as WBVE, "The Beaver."
In January 1991, Z Rock made its debut in the market with the WZRQ call letters, which were protested by crosstown CHR WKRQ. The call letters were then changed to WZRZ.
