History

Previously, WXAX-CD was home to SUR (another Spanish network), HTV (Latino music videos), and UATV (general entertainment).

The station was originally licensed and originated in St. Petersburg, then Clearwater, and, finally, Tampa. It is once again licensed in Clearwater, broadcasting from the Riverview antenna farm, directional towards Tampa. The general signal area covers most of Tampa and southwestern Hillsborough County, but barely reaches Pinellas County.

The construction permit was issued on July 3, 1990 under the callsign W26AX. It moved to WXAX-LP on July 22, 1996, and finally to the current WXAX-CD on June 3, 2015. [3]
