WKFY (101.5 FM) – branded as Koffee FM – is a commercial radio station licensedtoEast Harwich, Massachusetts, serving Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard. It is owned by Coxswain Communications, headed by Steve Chessare, through licensee Coxswain Media LLC. It airs a soft adult contemporary radio format, featuring a blend of mellow oldies, primarily from the 1960s, 70s and 80s. The studios and offices are on South Street in Hyannis.
WKFY is a Class A FM station, with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 6,000 watts. The main transmitter is on Locust Road in Orleans.[2] The station is also heard on two FM translators at 100.5 and 103.5 MHz.
WKFY signed on the air on August 16, 2013; 10 years ago (August 16, 2013). It originally broadcast at 98.7 MHz. It began with a stunt loop of "Old Cape Cod" by Patti Page. The official format debuted on August 19.[3] The format is designed to include "oldies, classic album cuts and modern artists loved by older listeners."[4][5] On June 9, 2014, WKFY extended its signal with the use of translator W263CU (100.5 MHz) in Hyannis, fed from WKFY's 101.5 signal. A second translator, W278DW (103.5 MHz) in Vineyard Haven is fed via 102.9 WPXC-HD3.[6][7][8]
On February 19, 2020, WKFY moved from 98.7 to 101.5 MHz while also moving to a new transmitter site in Orleans. The effective radiated power (ERP) increased from 3,200 watts to 6,000 watts. The height above average terrain (HAAT) was raised from 47.3 meters (155 ft) to 87.3 meters (286 ft), improving Koffee FM's signal in the Outer Cape. Two FM translators also began carrying WKFY, helping to boost WKFY’s coverage area in the Upper Cape, Mid-Cape and Martha’s Vineyard.[9]
