History

Country, Oldies and Talk

The station signed on the air on December 16, 1978;46 years ago. [4] It was originally licensed to LaBelle, Florida, as WVHG at 92.1 MHz. It was owned by LaBelle Broadcasting with an effective radiated power of 3,000 watts, airing a country music format.

In the 1990s and early 2000s, the station went through several changes in call letters and ownership. In the late 1990s, it entered into a country music simulcast arrangement with 92.9 WIKX Punta Gorda. [5] On March 26, 2008, the station switched to an oldies format, playing 1960s and 70s hits. Six days later, the call sign was changed to WNTY.

On September 17, 2009, the station flipped to a news-talk format, branded under the on-air name "92.5 Fox News". On September 25, 2009, WNTY changed its call letters to WFSX-FM, to go with its "Fox News" branding.

Simulcasting

WFSX-FM's programming was once simulcast on WNOG (1270 AM) in Naples, Florida, and WFSX (1240 AM) in Fort Myers. As of July 22, 2013, Fox News programming is no longer available on 1240 AM and 1270 AM. [6]

Those stations changed to a sports radio format. The Fort Myers station became WFWN, subsequently returning to the WFSX call sign in 2016. WFSX’s license at 1240 AM was cancelled on January 4, 2022 but the sports programming continues on 92.5 HD2 and on 105.9 FM, as well as WNOG 1270 and its translators.
