WTKS-FM 104.1 is a U.S. FM radio station in the metro Orlando, Florida area. Its most famous program is The Monsters In The Morning. The common name for the station is "Real Radio".
WTKS is famous for it's comedy based talk programs. A man by the name of Jim Philips, host of The Philips Phile, made one of the earliest popular talk programs that helped put WTKS on the map. Since then, many others have come and gone, and so have their radio programs.
Current lineup includes:
Monsters in the Morning (Morning, 6 to 11am)
The Shannon Burke Show (Midday, 11am to 3pm)
The Philips Phile (Afternoon, 3 to 7pm)
The Hideout w/ El Jefe and J-Dubs (Evening, 7 to 11pm)
The Phil Hendrie Show (Afterhours, 11pm to 1am)
SBK Live! (Saturday Nights, 7 to 10pm)
Note that The Phil Hendrie show is a syndication rebroadcast, and it tends to really end around anywhere from 12:30 to 12:55am.
Previous shows that are now gone include:
The Ed Till Show
The Drew Show (formerly called The Drew Garabo Show)
The Melissa Foxx News Thang
Erik in the Dark
Passion Phones
And some Friday night show. Maybe The Party something.... not sure.
WTKS also has its Real Music Weekends, where a set list of music is played in the off hours. But don't let the "weekends" connotation fool you, the music is played any time when there's not a talk show going on. Though there are live hosts during the day on the actual weekend.
SBK (Soul Brother Kevin) from the Shannon Burke show (also a former intern for the Monsters), also has a weekend program that takes place Saturday nights. Originally airing under the guise of a Black History Month tribute show, it now is the time for SBK and several of various current and former interns to sit around and have a good time talking about random guy stuff.
The Phil Hendrie Show is a repeated syndication of his California based show, and oddly is aired on Saturday and Sunday early mornings, as well as the usual weekday nights (except Friday).
