WKSE (98.5 FM, branded as KISS 98.5) is a Top 40 (CHR) station serving the Buffalo and Niagara Falls region of Western New York. The station's transmitter is located on Grand Island, New York. It has a sizable market in the Greater Toronto Area, but unlike the WBLK of old, does little marketing and promotion outside Western New York, but now has to compete with two CHR/Top 40 stations, (after the format change of CKIS) in the Greater Toronto Area;
the CHR format with a transmitter atop the CN Tower and the second Top 40 station licensed to the City of Toronto, the other being CKIS-FM. At the time of the format altering, CKFM adopted the slogan "Toronto's New #1 Hit Music Station". Currently, CKFM competes with CKIS-FM, CIDC-FM, CFXJ-FM, CJED-FM in Niagara Region, CKBT-FM in Kitchener, and, to a lesser extent, WKSE in Buffalo.
