WKMZ-FM is a radio station licensed to Martinsburg, West Virginia. Owned by the West Virginia Radio Corporation, it broadcasts a contemporary hit radio format.

Its signal covers the "four state" region, east into Washington, DC, south to Luray, Virginia, west into Grantsville, Maryland, and north into Altoona, Pennsylvania, although the station primarily targets Martinsburg.

History

On October 31, 2014, Prettyman Broadcasting announced the sale of the then-WLTF to West Virginia Radio Corporation (WVRC) for an unknown sum.[3] Included in the same were sister stations WEPM and WICL.[3] WVRC assumed control of the stations, through a Local marketing agreement, on November 1.[3] The purchase was consummated on February 13, 2015, at a price of $3 million.

On November 24, 2017, the station flipped to a CHR format and changed its call sign to WKMZ-FM. The station was unable to reclaim its legacy WKMZ callsign due to the existence of WKMZ-LP in Ruckersville, Virginia.[4]
