WKFY (101.5 FM) – branded as Koffee FM – is an FM radio station licensed to East Harwich, Massachusetts. WKFY signed on August 16, 2013 at 98.7 MHz with a stunt loop of "Old Cape Cod" by Patti Page. The official format debuted on August 19.[1] The format features "oldies, classic album cuts and modern artists loved by older listeners."[2][3] On June 9, 2014, WKFY extended its signal with the use of translator W263CU (100.5 MHz) in Hyannis, which is fed via WPXC-HD3 as well as translator W278DW (103.5 MHz) in Vineyard Haven, which is fed via WPXC-HD3 as well.[4][5][6]

WKFY's studios are located on South Street in Hyannis. On February 19, 2020, WKFY moved from 98.7 to 101.5 MHz while also moving to a new transmitter site in Orleans, Massachusetts, and increasing its effective radiated power from 3,200 watts to 6,000 watts, and increasing its height above average terrain from 47.3 meters (155 ft) to 87.3 meters (286 ft), improving its signal in the Outer Cape along with its two simulcast translators that help boost WKFY’s coverage area in the Upper Cape, Mid-Cape, and Martha’s Vineyard.[7]
