WXMG is an urban adult radio station in Columbus, Ohio, currently owned by Radio One.
[edit] History
98.9 MHz in Columbus began as adult contemporary WXMX "The Mix". After a short run, the station took on mainstream Top 40 country as "98.9 The River", re-imaged itself a few years later as "Wild Country, The New 98.9" and again later as the decidedly less aggressive "Country 98-9". The station briefly stunted in late 1996 by simulcasting audio from 98.9 MHz on both 105.7 MHz and 107.1 MHz in a short-lived attempt to "surround" country competitor WCOL. Then-owner Jacor Communications programmed the station as the alternative rock "Channel Z" prior to an acquisition by Blue Chip Broadcasting (and subsequently Radio One).
