WMFX, known as Fox 102, is a radio station licensed by the FCC to St. Andrews, South Carolina. It broadcast on 102.3 FM with a effective radiated power of 6kw.
[edit] Station History
102.3 first signed on as WTOX in late 1983. Less than a year later, it became WWGO, known as "Go 102", with a hybrid of Oldies and Adult Contemporary music. This format proved disastrous in the ratings and the station made a brief attempt at Top 40 before being sold in early 1987. New owners changed the format to Album Rock, with a lean musically toward Classic Rock as Fox 102 with the new call letters of WMFX. The changes paid off as the station was usually placed within the Top 5 of the Arbitron ratings since that time.
In 1994, the station adjusted it's format further toward Classic Rock and added the syndicated John Boy and Billy show for mornings.
