WKZS (103.1 FM, "Kiss Country") is a radio station broadcasting a country music format.[2] Licensed to Covington, Indiana, United States, the station serves the immediate Danville, Illinois area. The station also maintains a sales office in Champaign, Illinois. The station is currently owned by Benton-Weatherford Broadcasting, Inc., of Indiana and features programming from Dial Global's Hot Country format.
In 2012, the station obtained a construction permit from the FCC to relocate its city of license to Thomasboro, Illinois, and to move to 103.3 MHz.[3] This would have moved the station into the Champaign-Urbana radio market, but the station owners were unable to complete the move. In 2015, Benton-Weatherford applied for another construction permit, explaining they had not been able to complete WKZS' move to Thomasboro due to health and technical challenges.[4] The construction permit was granted, but expired in 2018, with the new Thomasboro station still unbuilt. The station remains licensed to Covington as of April 2020.
