[edit] History
WXDX was originally at 106.7 FM and known as The Force until 1996 when it swapped signals with WAMO-FM, giving it better signal coverage. It was also one of six stations in the Clear Channel roster that dropped Howard Stern in February 2004 (however, Stern would show up on WRKZ later that year). Howard began airing on WXDX in November 1995. Starting in October 2006, WXDX will be the radio flagship station of the Pittsburgh Penguins.
And the music sucks at THEE X. Turn back too the Force and play the music that made this station good. Now it sucks
Toooo much new crap.
