WFCX 94.3 Leland, Michigan, and WFDX 92.5 Atlanta, Michigan, are Northern Radio-owned stations that simulcast a classic pop hits format branded as Music Radio, The Fox FM. WFDX's 100,000-watt signal serves most of northern Michigan including Alpena, Gaylord and Petoskey, while WFCX, the flagship, serves the Traverse City area with 20,500 watts.
WFDX signed on in 1989 as WAIR, owned by Rick Stone (who now owns WJML Radio in Petoskey). At first, they aired an adult contemporary format with WNIC/Detroit's Johnny Williams doing a voicetracked version of his "Pillow Talk" show for nights. In the early 1990s, WAIR flipped to oldies, and shortly thereafter, WIAR 94.3 signed on, simulcasting WAIR's signal. Around that time, Northern Radio took over WAIR.
On Thanksgiving 1997, WIAR flipped to country as B94.3 and their call letters changed to WBYB. WAIR remained oldies for more than a year until they started simulcasting with WBYB again under the new name B92.5/B94.3 with their call set being WBYC.
what the fuck does it mean to acknowledge this democracy when millons are unemployed and living in the streets what the fuck does it mean to suck the nipple of this great nation when it's in our names that everyone else works until starvation
