WIRX (107.1 FM, "Rock 107 WIRX") is a radio station owned by Mid-West Family Broadcasting located in St. Joseph, Michigan.[1][2]
Since the early 1990s, WIRX has had the format of classic rock (leaning mainstream), including a mix of active rock music at night. Prior to that, the station had a contemporary hits format.
[edit] History
The 107.1 frequency was purchased as a music outlet to sister station WSJM-AM in 1971 by Mid-West Family Broadcasting, which is based in Madison, Wisconsin. The station is still managed on a local level to this day, much as it was when hitting the airwaves. After 9pm weekdays WIRX broadcasts Harddrive with Lou Brutus, a show dedicated to new rock.
WIRX began as WSJM-FM at its sign-on date according to FCC documentation.
