Kiss 108, Boston (1980s-2006)

 *Kiss 108 between late the 1980s and 2006.

Kiss 108 (WXKS-FM) is a radio station in Boston, Massachusetts, USA licensed to nearby Medford broadcasting a Top 40 (contemporary hit radio - CHR) format. Owned by Clear Channel Communications.

In early 1979, WWEL-FM changed the call letters to WXKS, adopted 'Kiss 108' as a station identity and changed to a disco format on February 10, 1979.

By the end of 1981 and into early 1982, the station became a CHR with a heavily rhythmic R&B/dance direction under the guidance of Sunny Joe White as Program Director, and in turn became one of the most influential Top 40 stations in the U.S., in part due to their reputation for breaking songs that did not fit the traditional Top 40/CHR model, and given that Boston lacked an Urban Contemporary FM outlet during this period. By 1988, Kiss 108 began to shift out of the rhythmic direction and evolved into its current successful Top 40/CHR format.

Kiss 108's slogan is "Boston's #1 Hit Music Station."

On January 27, 2006, WXKS-FM went live with an HD2 digital broadcast referred to by Clear Channel as the "Artists' Channel".
