[edit] History

WXNT began operation as WKBF in 1927. The first call letter change was to WIRE. The station was mentioned as officially opening their new studios on the show "Nightbeat" on October 27, 1950. For many years, its programming consisted of country music. It remained WIRE until the mid '80s. On November 28, 1990, the station became WFXF-AM, which simulcast then-sister station WFXF-FM 103.3 and its classic rock format (as "103.3 The Fox", now Clear Channel owned alternative/active rock X-103). On May 18, 1992, the call letters changed to WCKN. They again changed on September 8, 1994 to WMYS, a "Music of Your Life" station playing big band music.

[edit] Station broadcasting information

WXNT broadcasts using 5 kW of power, with a directional antenna for nighttime operations. This causes the station to broadcast in circular patterns to the north-northwest and south-southeast of the antenna site. More information is available at the FCC query for WXNT.

[edit] Programming

The big-band music and the WMYS calls went away on October 22, 2001, when the station became News/Talk WXNT.
