93.7 The Coast WKOC Begins Stunting
Previous Format: AAA “93.7 The Coast” WKOC New Format: Country “93.7 Kick-FM” WKCK Date & Time Of Change: December 3, 2003 More Info: Wikipedia A week after Barnstable Broadcasting blew up longtime Country powerhouse WCMS in favor of Rock “Max 100.5“, Sinclair Communications attempted to fill the position by replacing AAA “93-7 The Coast” WKOC with Country as “93.7 Kick-FM“. For the first two days of its life, Kick-FM looped Alan Jackson’s “Gone Country” to promote the new station leading up to its actual debut at 12:06 on December 5, 2003.

100.5 WCMS Flips From Classic Country to Rock “Max 100.5”
After more than 40 years of country music on 100.5 WCMS (and previously 1050), the format was dropped on November 28, 2003 around 11:30PM for Mainstream Rock. The first song was AC/DC’s “Shook Me All Night Long.” Aircheck Contributed By Bob Corbin of VARTV.com
100.5 WCMS Flips From Country to Classic Country
After 40 years as THE Country station in the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area, 100.5 WCMS had slowly become the #2 country station in town behind sister “97.3 The Eagle” WGH. In order to take the two stations out of direct competition, WCMS flipped to Classic Country in April 2003. This move would be short lived, as the station would flip to Rock before the year was out.
