![]() ![]() Some weekend hours are paid brokered programming. Weekends feature programs on money, health, gardening, home repair and the syndicated Bill Cunningham show. WOKV hosts include Brian Kilmeade, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Chad Benson, Clark Howard, Dana Loesch and Coast to Coast AM with George Noory. The rest of the weekday schedule is syndicated conservative talk shows along with locally anchored news, traffic and weather reports. ![]() Weekdays on WOKV-FM begin with Jacksonville's Morning News with Rich Jones. The FM and AM frequencies remained a simulcast until WOKV AM flipped to sports on January 2, 2019. On May 16, 2013, WFYV-FM changed its call sign to WOKV-FM. WOKV had previously been heard at FM on 106.5 MHz. The stunting lasted until midnight on May 1, 2013, when WFYV-FM changed to a simulcast of news/talk-formatted WOKV, abandoning all music entirely. During the stunting, rock listeners were redirected to sister alternative rock station WXXJ (then at 102.9 FM, now 106.5 FM). After that, the station began stunting with a 5-minute loop of teasers of potential formats: hot talk as "Raw Talk, 104.5 The Bone", soft AC as "Easy 104.5", country as "104.5 Brad-FM", urban contemporary as "Power 104.5" and Spanish tropical music as "Caliente 104.5". On that day, at 10:07 p.m., the station signed off with a live version of " Free Bird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd, followed by a minute of silence. On April 10, 2013, Cox Media announced that "Rock 104.5" was going to "retire", effective April 28. In 2010, following a format change at rival rock station WPLA, WFYV shifted from classic rock to mainstream rock under the name Rock 104.5, Jacksonville's Best Rock. Over the years, the station gradually shifted towards classic rock. On March 10, 1980, WFYV became Rock 105 with an album rock format. WFYV began running 100,000 watts, the maximum permitted for non- grandfathered FM stations, allowing it to be heard throughout Jacksonville's expanding suburbs, from Southeast Georgia to St. The station changed its frequency to 104.5 MHz, coupled with a dramatic boost in power. In 1979, the station changed its callsign again, this time to WFYV. Around 1970, it changed its call sign to WJNJ-FM. It was the FM counterpart of WKTX (1600 AM) its effective radiated power was only 3,000 watts, a fraction of its current power, and it simulcast WKTX's middle of the road music format. WAQB-FM signed on in July 1967 at 104.9 MHz. The station is owned by Cox Media Group and broadcasts from studios and a transmitter in the Southside district of Jacksonville. It airs a news/talk format branded as "News 104.5 WOKV". WOKV-FM (104.5 MHz) is a radio station in Atlantic Beach, Florida, United States, serving the Jacksonville metropolitan area. ![]()
