WLXC, also known as 98.5 Kiss-FM, is a Urban Adult Contemporary radio station in the Columbia, South Carolina market. The station is licensed by the FCC to the town of Lexington, South Carolina and broadcasts at 6kw.

[edit] Station History

WLXC originally signed on the air in 1994 with a Sports radio format known as "The Ticket". After a period of a year that saw little audience growth, the station changed format in late 1995 to a syndicated Beach music format known as "The Breeze". Although it had a small but loyal following, the station failed to gain traction in the ratings. In 1998, the station was sold and the format was changed to Urban AC.

The station is owned by Citadel Broadcasting, which also owns AC WTCB, Oldies WOMG, and News/Talk WISW in the Columbia radio market.
