History
In 1978, WKXI became WTYX. From September, 1978 to March, 1990, WTYX' format was Top 40/CHR, and had been branded 94TYX (TYX was pronounced tiks).
In March, 1990, WTYX flipped to oldies, and was branded Oldies 94.
In September, 1994, WTYX flipped to all rock & roll oldies and had been branded Arrow 94.
