[edit] History
Both stations have had a history of various formats, most notably Adult R&B at 104.5 (from the 1990s to 2000 and from 2001 to 2003) and Rhythmic Oldies at 104.9 (late 1990s to 2001).
In 2000 the 104.5 signal became a Modern Rock outlet, only to move over to 104.9 in 2001. In 2003 both stations became a simulcast and adopted the 104 The X handle.
In 2007, 104 the X presented X-Fest at the Baton Rouge River Center. They plan on this being a yearly tradition for the Red Stick.
The current air staff of X-Fest consists of Shannon Marks (9AM to 2PM), The Fish (2PM to 7PM), and Dan Day (7PM-Midnight).
