WKSN (branded as "Kissin' Oldies 1340") is an AM radio station based in Jamestown, New York. The oldies outlet is owned by Media One Group and operates at 1340 kHz.

WKSN, formerly WJTN's rival, signed on in 1948 as "WJOC". Most recently WKSN ("Kissin' Oldies") was an oldies outlet carrying a local morning show and a midday show by Paul Hoefler (now performing commercial jingles in the area), as well the satellite "Good Time Oldies" from Jones Radio Networks until it was bought out by Media One in 2003.

WKSN was a primarily syndicated talk radio operation prior to July 4, 2008, with shows such as Rush Limbaugh (counterprogrammed to a liberal program known as "The Hall Closet" on WJTN), Bill Bennett, Dr. Dean Edell and Glenn Beck, as well as affiliations with Talk Radio Network and FOX Sports Radio. With the change to oldies (and "The Hall Closet"'s discontinuation), Edell, Beck and Ed Schultz were moved to WJTN, although Rush Limbaugh (for business reasons) was dropped from the market altogether.

WKSN is an affiliate of Scott Shannon's True Oldies Channel. WKSN is also affiliated with the Buffalo Sabres and the NFL on Westwood One. Jamestown Jammers away games were heard on WKSN for many years but no longer air anywhere on Jamestown radio.
