WKXX-FM (KXX 106, Kicks 106, X-106 and Power Cow Kicks 106) was an album-oriented rock/hit rock station at FM 106.9 from August 5, 1977 to 1990. It took over the frequency from WERC-FM and quickly eclipsed long-time Top 40 AM stations WSGN-AM and WERC-AM on the charts. They were later challenged by WRKK-FM (K-99) and pop-format WAPI-FM (I-95)

Staff members included Charley Martin, Paul Conrad, John Shomby, Brother Rich, Steve Davis, Larry O'Day, Walt Brown Charlie Bruno, and Rob Barlow.

The station added urban crossover tracks to its format in 1987, but returned to straight Top-40 in 1989 as "X-106". In 1990 that name was retired and the station became known as "The Power Cow, Kicks 106" with a Top-40/Urban format. In 1990 the station was rebranded as WBMH-FM "Real Country 106.9".
