WXLA is a commercial AM radio station located in Dimondale, a suburb of Lansing, Michigan. The station broadcasts on 1180 kHz with 10,000 watts during most daytime hours. During the two hours after sunrise and two hours before sunset it cuts back to 2,000 watts. WXLA does not broadcast at night.
WXLA began broadcasting in 1982 as WDTB on 1170 kHz with 1,000 watts. The call letters were changed to the present WXLA on June 29, 1984. In July of 2005 the station increased its power and began referring to itself as 10,000 Watt 1180.
In 2006, MacDonald Broadcasting purchased WXLA and sister station WQHH for $3.65 million. MacDonald switched the urban adult contemporary format (as "Mix 1180") to ABC Radio's "Timeless" (formerly known as "Stardust") adult standards format in October of 2006. The Timeless Classics format had previously aired on co-owned "Unforgettable 1320" WILS and was moved to WXLA to make room for a new talk format on WILS.
