98.7 KISS FM was the first FM radio station to specifically speak to the African American community. Long before BET and MTV, there was 98.7 KISS FM… a sole voice for thriving black communities in New York City and its suburbs. Along with the emerging music, 98.7 KISS FM was the main outlet in New York for black community leaders and politicians to spread their positive message on the radio. 98.7 KISS FM was, and still is, the loyal and authentic voice for the New York African American community. 98.7 KISS FM has been the home to many influential figures and helped launch the music careers of legends like Luther Vandross, Mariah Carey, Run DMC, Jaheim, Alicia Keys, LL Cool J, Keith Sweat & Janet Jackson. Events have always been a backbone of the station, with an active loyal audience that regularly packs large scale events such as our Annual Coat Drive, Summer Soul Cruises and many more. The passion our listeners have for 98.7 KISS FM is unparalleled in radio – with many listeners having grown up with the station. After 29 years, KISS now speaks to two generations of listenership…once again proving that KISS FM is about community and bringing family together. It’s positive, it’s authentic, it’s family. Its KISS FM!
