WXMG is an urban adult radio station in Columbus, Ohio, currently owned by Radio One.
[edit] History
98.9 MHz in Columbus began as adult contemporary WXMX "The Mix". In 1991 the station was purchased by Alan Gray's Tri-City Radio and changed to modern country music as WRVF-FM "98.9 The River." In 1994 the station was sold to Carl Hirsch who re-imaged it as "Wild Country, The New 98.9" and again later as the decidedly less aggressive "Country 98-9". The station briefly stunted in late 1996 by simulcasting audio from 98.9 MHz on both 105.7 MHz and 107.1 MHz in a short-lived attempt to "surround" country competitor WCOL. Then-owner Jacor Communications programmed the station as the alternative rock "Channel Z" prior to an acquisition by Blue Chip Broadcasting (and subsequently Radio One).
