WRXS is a Modern Rock radio station in Columbus, Ohio, currently owned by Clear Channel Communications. It is one of two Modern Rock stations in the immediate Columbus area, the other being WWCD.

[edit] Station history

WMRN-FM had served the nearby Marion, Ohio area at 106.9 MHz with a country music format under the on-air moniker "Buckeye Country 107". The country format moved to 94.3 MHz, where the WMRN-FM call letters are expected to return.

On December 1, 2007 the former 106.9 frequency moved to 106.7 and relicensed to Dublin, Ohio, where it began targeting the Columbus radio market. Prior to the announced launch, there were several domains registered by Clear Channel, which was done to keep listeners guessing, along with stunting consisting of television theme songs being played on-air.

On December 13th, 2007 at 12 noon EST, WRXS officially unveiled its true format, Modern Rock as "Radio 106.7"^[1]^[2]. The first song played on Radio 106.7 was "Radio, Radio" by Elvis Costello.

The addition of "Radio 106.7" adds to an already competitive Rock radio market in Columbus, which in addition to WWCD, also includes Classic/Heritage Rock WLVQ, Active Rock WRKZ and WRXS's Adult Hits/Rock sister WBWR.
