WIRX is a radio station owned by Mid-West Family Broadcasting located in St. Joseph, Michigan, transmitting on a frequency of 107.1 MHz.
Since the early 90s, this station is programming a classic-leaning Mainstream Rock format, including a larger mix of Active Rock music after 7pm weeknights.
[edit] History
The 107.1 frequency was purchased as a music outlet to sister station WSJM-AM in 1971 by Mid-West Family Broadcasting, which is based in Madison, Wisconsin. The station is still managed on a local level to this day, much as it was when hitting the airwaves.
WIRX began as WSJM-FM at its sign-on date according to FCC documentation. Further details on the history of the station are yet to be published through a reputable source. Once documentation becomes available, history will be available.
