History:
107.9 was originally WRPM-FM, a dreadfully bad home-brew automated easy listening station in Poplarville, companion of WRPM AM. As a class C with potential to become a competitor on the densely populated coast, it became WZKX as top 40 and unseated then-dominant WQID (which later became WMJY). The station, known as Kicks 108 as an AC, then went country as Kicker 108 to challence dominant WKNN; the station was reallocated to Bay St. Louis.
