WJMX-FM, also known as "103X", is a CHR radio station located in the Florence, South Carolina, radio market. The station is licensed by the FCC to the town of Cheraw, South Carolina, and broadcasts on 103.3 FM with a ERP of 50 kw.
[edit] Station history
103.3 signed on July 17th, 1979 as WPDZ in Cheraw as the area's first FM Top 40 station, "Z103" . Although the station broadcasted with 3 kw. of power at the time, Z103 eventually passed longtime Top 40 outlet WJMX AM 970 in the ratings (WJMX would add an FM signal on 106.3 in 1985). Eventually, WPDZ got a construction permit to increase it's power to 50 kw., but the station went into bankruptcy by 1987 before it could be acted upon.
In early 1988, WJMX-FM purchased WPDZ and simulcasted its 106.3 FM signal with the 103.3 signal for most of the year, while upgrading the 103.3 signal to 50kw.. In November of that year, WJMX spun-off it's 106.3 signal to Urban Contemporary outlet, WYNN-FM, while the 103.3 frequency became "103X". The CHR format has remained in place ever since.
The station is owned by Qantum Communications.
