WKIK (102.9 MHz) is a country formatted broadcast radio station licensed to California, Maryland, serving Southern Maryland and the Northern Neck. WKIK is owned and operated by Somar Communications, Inc.

History

Tidewater Communications, controlled by Richard A. Myers, was granted a construction permit for a radio station on 102.9 MHz in California, Maryland, on May 23, 1991;[1] the permit was soon issued the call sign WBEY.[2] In 1993, Tidewater sold the permit to Somar Communications, owner of WMOM and WSMD, for $130,000.[3] Somar signed the station on in December 1994[4] as country music station WRFK.[5]

The station's call sign was changed to WKIK-FM on January 1, 1997.[6] The "-FM" suffix was dropped on April 4, 2023; this followed the shutdown earlier in the year of WKIK (1560 AM),[7] the former WMOM, which had simulcast WKIK-FM[8] since 2000.[9]
