WXNI (1230 AM) is a radio station licensed to serve Westerly, Rhode Island. The station is owned by the WRNI Foundation. In December 2007, an agreement was reached to sell WXNI to Diponti Communications for a reported $350,000.[2] The sale is currently pending FCC approval.
It airs a format of news and talk from National Public Radio.[3] When the sale is approved, NorthEast Radio Watch reports that Diponti Communications will move the local news and variety programming of WBLQ-LP (96.7 FM, Ashaway, Rhode Island) to WXNI's more powerful AM signal.[2]
The station has been assigned the WXNI call letters by the Federal Communications Commission since January 4, 1999.[1]
