History

The station originally went on the air as WAKN on September 8, 1995. On April 4, 2000 the station changed its call sign to the current WNSX.[2] Shortly after changing call letters, the station signed on, simulcasting then sister station WMDI, which is now WBQI, and part of the W-BACH classical network. In late 2000 the station was bought by Clear Channel Communications and began simulcasting sister station WFZX before carrying Fox Sports Radio for several years before returning to a simulcast of WFZX. In 2005 the station was sold to Stony Creek Broadcasting (Mark L. Osborne, managing member [3]), and adopted its current format [1].
