WKFS (107.1 FM, "Kiss 107.1") is a radio station in the Cincinnati, Ohio, market, licensed to nearby Milford. It broadcasts a gold-based Top 40 format and is owned by iHeartMedia. The WKFS studios are located in Kenwood Towne Centre, and the station transmitter is located in Mount Auburn, a neighborhood northeast of downtown Cincinnati.

WKFS was established in 1969 as a local station for Milford and aired an easy listening format for most of the 1970s and early 1980s. After being sold, the station cycled through multiple low-rated formats, including adult contemporary, oldies, new age, and rock before finding stability in the 1990s with an alternative rock sound. The present contemporary hit radio format was instituted in 1998.
