[edit] History
The station was origially known as WXTZ-FM, broadcasting a beautiful music format. In the late 1980s, the station flipped to an adult contemporary format, "Magic 103.3" and was identified by the call letters WMJC-FM. Just prior to a purchase by Broadcast Alchemy, a company that formed part of what is now Clear Channel, the station became WFXF-FM, playing Classic Rock to compete with WFBQ, which became its sister station following the sale.
The station began broadcasting as WRZX on August 21, 1992.[1]
[edit] Programming
WRZX airs a local show, Stuck and Gunner, weekday mornings. The hosts, both twenty-year radio and television veterans, Don Stuck and Dave "Gun" were Nominated for Radio and Records magazine's 2006 "Best Alternative Morning Show/Personality Of The Year" award. Don Stuck has been a performing guitarist for nearly thirty years and is a recognized artist by Gibson Guitar Corporation.[citation needed]
The now Infamious "Pinto Bob" can still be heard on the new "Stuck In The Morning" show. Pinto Bob als can be heard as Hustler's Larry Flynt and Lance Johnson, the Gay Cowboy.
Dec 3rd 2007 "Stuck and Gunner" are no longer as Gunner was a victim of the Clear Channel budget axe recently that claimed Alex B & Nikki over a year ago.

WRZX currently presents annual May Day and X-Fest events.
