History

WPXC's logo from 2003 until 2012

On February of 2005, Ernie Boch, Sr. sold WPXC, WTWV, WDVT, WCOD, and WXTK to Qantum Communications. Due to the FCC's rules Qantum had to put WTWV, WDVT, and WPXC up for a pending sale.

In March 2005, Nassau Broadcasting Partners bought the three stations from Qantum Communications. WPXC's sister stations WTWV and WDVT became WFRQ and WFQR.

Over the past seven years, WPXC has played more Classic Rock music than Active Rock while being owned by Nassau.

On May 4, 2012, Nassau Broadcasting and its lenders auctioned off all of their Cape stations to John Garabedian. John Garabedian has made no change WPXC's format or staff, but CodComm has designed new logos and websites for Pixy 103 and Frank FM.^[2]
