[edit] History

The station, which originally served McComb, Mississippi before moving into Baton Rouge in 1993 as a Country outlet (As WYCT and later as WEMX), flipped to R&B/Hip-Hop on January 1, 1997. The WEMX calls and Max 94.1 handle is a holdover from its former format. Their current slogan is "#1 For Hip-Hop And R&B!"

[edit] Trivia

The station's current PD "J-Tweezy" made a guest appearance on the 504 Boyz 2000 hit "Wobble Wobble".
