WJKX (102.5 FM, "102JKX") is a radio station licensed to the community Ellisville, Mississippi, and serving the Laurel-Hattiesburg area. The station is owned by Clear Channel Communications and the license is held by CC Licenses, LLC. It airs an Urban Adult Contemporary music format.[2]

History

It began in 1973 as WBSJ, a country music station, located just north of Ellisville. Upon its acquisition by Clear Channel, call letters and format were changed, and the studios moved to Laurel, Mississippi.

The station was assigned the WJKX call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on March 1, 1990.[1] The WBSJ callsign is now owned by Ball State University in Indiana.
