WKVK-FM 106.7 History


Southern Entertainment Corporation signed on Semora, North Carolina's class "A" allotment in early 1996 from nearby Danville, Virginia, as contemporary hits WPXX "Pixx 106.7". Studios were located on Northmont Boulevard, just off North Main Street with a tower site west of Danville. On July 1st,1998, WPXX flipped to a satellite-delivered oldies format as "Pixx Pure Gold 106.7". After several offers from companies looking to move this valuable frequency to the bigger surrounding markets, K-Love parent company Educational Media Foundation bought WPXX in 2000, taking the station non-commercial as WKVE with the network's contemporary Christian format. Several months later, the newly minted WKVE upgraded to a class "C2" with 50,000 watts, adding Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Burlington and Greensboro to their coverage area from a new tower site near Yanceyville, in Caswell County. On March 9th, 2009, the station became WKVK, with their former WKVE call letters moving to a K-Love station in Mount Pleasant, Pa.
