WKSE signed on as WHLD-FM in 1947. It changed calls to WZIR in 1980 and WRXT in 1984 and settled at its current calls in 1985. It currently runs a format somewhere between hot adult contemporary and current hits radio. Much of its playlist overlaps that of sister station WTSS Star 102.5 at times. WKSE competes with long time rival CKEY Z101, which has a very similar format.

In 2006 Kiss 98.5 began streaming its programming over the internet.
