# WLXF

**WLXF** (105.5 FM) is a Christian radio station licensed to serve Macon, Georgia. It broadcasts a Contemporary Christian music format.

## History

### WDEN-FM

The current 105.5 license began broadcasting at 105.3 MHz as WDEN-FM, Macon's second FM radio station, on June 10, 1968. It was the FM sister station to WDEN (1500 AM), a daytime-only country music outlet, and its full-time simulcast, additionally operating after local sunset. The original owners of WDEN-AM-FM were the Rowland family, doing business as Radio Macon; the Rowlands WQIK-AM-FM in Jacksonville and WQYK-AM-FM in St. Petersburg J. Marvin Elliott acquired an 81 percent ownership interest from the Rowlands in 1972 for $325,000.

Elliott died in 1978. Two years later, his estate sold the WDEN stations to a limited partnership known as First Macon Communications Corporation, a group of Alabama investors, for $1,026,500. Eventually, the two signals were split, with WDEN-FM concentrating on current country hits with less talk, and WDEN AM specializing in more personality and a playlist including classic country. In 1982, the AM station adopted a separate set of call letters, WPTC; it returned to WDEN in 1986.

WDEN-AM-FM was sold to Magic Broadcasting, later known as U.S. Broadcasting Limited Partnership, for $6 million in 1987.

### Downgrade, frequency change and format changes

Prior to 2000, WDEN-FM operated with 100,000 watts at 105.3 MHz. However, the station filed for a major downgrade to 6,100 watts at 105.5 MHz. The move was arranged so that a 105.5 station southwest of Atlanta, Class A WYAI-FM in Bowdon, could upgrade and move to 105.3 to serve Atlanta. On December 26, 2000, the 105.3 facility changed to the lower-power 105.5; the WDEN-FM call letters and country music format moved to 100,000-watt 99.1 MHz, which Magic had acquired in 1997 and which simulcast WDEN-FM for the entire month of December; and oldies station WAYS moved from 99.1 to 105.5.

Cumulus Media acquired the seven-station U.S. Broadcasting cluster in Macon for $35.5 million.

In 2005, WAYS moved again, this time to 1500 AM, and 105.5 FM flipped to sports talk as WIFN "ESPN 105.5 The Fan".

On September 3, 2009, WIFN began stunting with TV theme songs, with liners promoting to tune in at 1:05 PM the next day for a big announcement. At that time, WIFN moved to 1500 AM, and 105.5 flipped to mainstream rock as WROK-FM "Rock 105.5". The first song on Rock 105.5 was *Know Your Enemy* by Green Day.

### Sale to EMF

In 2011, Cumulus bought Citadel Broadcasting. As a result of coming into compliance with current FCC ownership rules, Cumulus was required to place several stations, including WLXF, in a divestiture trust.

On March 4, 2016, the Educational Media Foundation acquired WROK from Cumulus’ Joule Broadcasting divestment trust for $625,000. EMF would flip WROK-FM to its K-Love network upon closing of the deal. The sale closed and the switch to the K-Love format took place on May 25, 2016. On May 31, 2016, WROK-FM changed its call letters to WLXF.

## Programming

Until May 25, 2016, along with the previous rock format, WROK-FM remained Macon's FM home for Atlanta Braves baseball and Georgia Bulldogs football.

In October 2009, the station picked up *The Regular Guys* (simulcasted from sister-owned WNNX-FM in nearby Atlanta) for its morning drive slot.

The station is now a K-Love affiliate that broadcasts Contemporary Christian music.

**WELJ** (104.7 FM) branded as "104.7 WELJ", is a commercial radio station licensed to Montauk, New York, and serving Eastern Long Island, and Southeastern Connecticut. It is owned by BOLD Broadcasting and airs a soft adult contemporary radio format. Its radio studios and offices are on Waverly Avenue in Holtsville, New York.

WELJ has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 6,000 watts. Its transmitter is off Montauk Highway (N.Y. State Route 27) near Lincoln Road in Montauk.

## History

### WBEA, WMOS and WXLM

The station first signed on the air on February 19, 1993, as WBEA. It launched with an adult contemporary music format near identical to that which had been heard on WHFM (prior to its change to a relay of WBAB the previous year). However, within a year the format evolved to a Hot Adult Contemporary format with the *Beach Radio* name.

*Beach Radio* saw success in not just targeting Eastern Long Island but also seeking advertisers across Long Island Sound in the New London, Connecticut market where it delivers a listenable, though not local-quality signal.

When then-WBEA owner AAA Entertainment purchased WBAZ (101.7 FM) and WBSQ (102.5 FM) in 2000, the company began to realign its formats among its signals. After moving WBAZ to WBSQ's signal in May 2001, it was announced that WBEA would move to the former WBAZ frequency at 101.7 MHz with 104.7 becoming a New London rimshot. During the interim period, 104.7 had the temporary WCSO call letters.

In June 2001, AAA entered a deal with the Mohegan Sun casino to program and operate the then-WCSO, with AAA keeping technical operations. With the deal came a new format, classic rock, and the new call sign of WMOS. In 2003, AAA Entertainment sold WMOS and sister WWKX in the Providence market to Citadel Broadcasting.

On March 17, 2008, 104.7 and sister station 102.3 made a frequency swap. WXLM and its talk radio format was moved to 104.7, while WMOS and its classic rock format was moved to 102.3.

### WELJ

On September 21, 2010, WXLM changed its call sign to WELJ as part of a pending format change. The WXLM call sign was moved to 980 AM, replacing the historic call sign WSUB. Shortly after, the News/Talk format began to simulcast on 980 AM with frequent announcements that WXLM is moving to 980 AM.

On November 3, 2010, WELJ broke away from its simulcast with 980 AM and changed its format to Hot Adult Contemporary. Known on-air as "The New 104-7 WELJ", the station promoted 10,000 songs in-a-row, non-stop with zero commercials through the month of November. Although it was anticipated to be a full simulcast of sister station 95.5 WPLJ in New York City, the station had its own identity with local DJs such as Jody, Johnny Mac, Paula Wyn and Joshua Spatafore, along with plans to add "The Big Show with Scott & Todd" (Scott Shannon and Todd Pettingill) from WPLJ for its morning show.

### Volt Radio

Citadel merged with Cumulus Media on September 16, 2011. To comply with Federal Communications Commission ownership restrictions, WELJ had to be spun off by Cumulus Media. It was then transferred to Volt Radio, LLC.

On November 3, 2014, WELJ dropped its Hot AC format and flipped back to a simulcast, this time of WNSH in Newark, New Jersey, which carried a country music format as "Nash FM 94.7", with the simulcast evidently only being noted in station identifications. On August 31, 2015, WELJ dropped its simulcast with WNSH and rebranded as "104.7 Nash Icon".

### Soft AC

On July 19, 2016, Joule Broadcasting announced that WELJ would be sold to BOLD Broadcasting, LLC The station was purchased by two college students, Matthew Glaser and Andrew Adams, who were said to be the youngest station owners in the country. The sale was completed on November 1, 2016. At that time, WELJ switched to Christmas music and announced that a new format would launch on December 26 at noon.

At the promised time, WELJ launched a soft adult contemporary and oldies format as "104.7 WELJ". The first song under the new format was "Easy" by The Commodores.

**WKKP** (“Classic Country 100.9 FM and 1410 AM”) broadcasts on 1410 kHz at a power of 2,500 watts daytime and 58 watts at night from a tower located on Racetrack Road in McDonough, Georgia, a southern suburb of Atlanta. The station is owned by Henry County Radio Co, Inc. and originates from studios located on Brownlee Road in Jackson, Georgia. The FM translator broadcasts at a frequency of 100.9 MHz with a power of 250 watts from the tower located on Racetrack Rd.

## History

The station callsign was originally WJGA and was assigned to a frequency of 1540 kHz and located in Jackson, Georgia. The station was sold and moved to McDonough, the calls changed to WZAL, assigned to 1540 kHz, and owned by Dallas Tarkenton (older brother of Fran Tarkenton). Broadcasting as WZAL continued until it was purchased by DeVan-Moore Communication, Inc. in 1980. The station saw successful growth in the hands of Jim DeVan, former manager of WMCD (Statesboro, Georgia), and moved to 1410 kHz in the late 1980s.

Jim DeVan managed WZAL until his sudden death from a work-related accident in 1991. The station was sold to a former Tarkenton associate (Earnhart), who changed the call letters and moved the studios to Jackson several years later, but left the transmitter in McDonough. WKKP (Kopy Kat Programming) aired local programming in the morning, followed by simulcast programming from sister station WJGA-FM in Jackson, Georgia.

The station has gone through many format changes, and currently broadcasts Classic Country programming from satellite. WKKP also broadcasts AP network news at the top of the hour. The Henry County Schools high school football game of the week is also aired Friday night and they also broadcast high school baseball and basketball games in season, with Rob Gulley providing play by play.

## History

### WDBM-FM and WOOO

The station signed on the air on March 16, 1961. Its original call sign was WDBM-FM, the sister station to co-owned AM daytime-only station 550 WDBM (now WAME). The original owner was Walter B. Duke, with both stations simulcasting their programming. When WDBM 550 would go off the air each evening at sunset, WDBM-FM would continued to broadcast. It was only powered at 3,000 watts, so the station signal was limited to the Statesville area.

The Duke family sold the stations in 1973, and the new owners separated the operations of the AM and FM outlets. At first, the FM station aired an automated Top 40 format with news supplied from the ABC Contemporary Network. It later tried an underground-style progressive rock sound, changing the call letters to WOOO and the station's slogan to "Triple-O-97".

### WLVV

In 1980, Metrolina Communications of Orlando bought WOOO and WDBM for $660,000. The new owners planned a soft music format on WOOO, along with new call letters, WLVV. The station increased power from 9,000 to 100,000 watts with a new tower near Lake Norman. If it had worked properly, it would have allowed WLVV to cover Charlotte. The change to "Love 97" happened February 3, 1981. At first, there were problems with the new transmitter.

Its initial format under the new call letters was "contemporary beautiful music" using an automated system called "The FM100 Plan." It later changed to Churchill Productions' "Radio One", a soft adult contemporary format. Popular announcers on the station in those years included Phil Green, Bob Brandon, Bob Chrysler, Dan Lucas, Dick Durante and Anne Cruse. WLVV finally reached full power in November 1981 and began showing up in Charlotte ratings. In 1982, Capitol Broadcasting bought WLVV for $2 million along with its AM sister station. At the time, WLVV played artists such as Journey, Billy Joel, The Pointer Sisters, Kenny Rogers and Hall & Oates.

### Country music

Another ownership change came in 1985. The new management flipped the station to country music and changed the call letters to WLVK ("K-97"). In January 1989, Bill Blevins, using the on-air name Billy Buck, became the new morning host to compete with Charlotte's top DJ, Bill Dollar on WSOC.

On March 23, 1990, the station switched to a more youthful "high-octane country" format as WTDR "Thunder 96.9." The first song was "If You Don't Like Hank Williams" by Hank Williams Jr. Research showed many male listeners who liked country music also listened to leading album rock station 99.7 WRFX. Program director Mark Tudor said the previous target audience was 25-54, while the new audience for Thunder 96.9 was 21-37, specifically a median age of 33. The playlist included newer hits and less gold. Country-style rock songs in the new format included "Move It On Over" by George Thorogood and "Sharp Dressed Man" by ZZ Top. Softer acts such as Kenny Rogers, Crystal Gayle and Anne Murray were no longer played, though Ronnie Milsap's "Smoky Mountain Rain" and George Jones' "He Stopped Loving Her Today" were acceptable. Liners included "Slammin' the Door on the Same Old Country" (referring to WSOC-FM), "Country Without the Restrictor Plate" and "Playing What You Asked for 'Cause No One Else Will".

The experiment didn't last long, and the station went back to a more standard country sound under the moniker "New Country 96.9." However, the WTDR call sign remained for a while longer. Chuck Boozer returned to mornings on WTDR in 1994 after working afternoons at KPLX in Dallas.

### WKKT Kat Country

The call sign was changed to the current WKKT in 1997. Along with the new call letters came a new nickname, "96.9 Kat Country." In December 1997, Paul Schadt moved to WKKT after 16 years at WSOC. Schadt and Sarah Lee host morning drive time on the station. Most iHeart Country stations carry*The Bobby Bones Show* live on weekday mornings from sister station WSIX-FM Nashville. But WKKT delays the show for airing in the evening.

WKKT's HD2 digital subchannel once carried a children's radio format known as "Kids Club Radio", mixing contemporary hits with music from popular kids shows and movies. Under the new name "iHeart Family Kids Club Radio," it remains on the iHeartRadio website and app. But the WKKT subchannel has since been turned off.

**WMAX** (1440 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Catholic religious format. It is co-owned with WDEO 990 AM in Ypsilanti, Michigan, and features the same programming from the EWTN Global Catholic Radio network.

## History

Licensed to Bay City, Michigan, it first began broadcasting in 1925 as **WSKC** at 1150 kHz, with its call sign reflecting its ownership by the World's Star Knitting Co. It was the first radio station in the Tri-Cities and first Michigan radio station north of Flint. In 1930, the call sign changed to **WBCM**, followed by a shift in frequency in 1941 to 1440 kHz. WBCM served the Bay City area as a local station for many years with a variety of formats including MOR and country music.

WBCM began experimenting with FM radio in 1947, one of the first in the region. WBCM-FM was located at 96.1 mHz and broadcast from an over 300 foot (90m) Blaw-Knox tower at the station's Bay City east side studio on Tuscola Rd, initially signing on in 1947. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, 96.1 FM broadcast a beautiful music format. Purchased by Liggett Communications earlier in 1973, on August 27, 1973 the FM calls were changed to WHNN and the station adopted a Top 40 format as "Super Win". Later, Liggett built a new FM tower location in Quanicassee to alleviate a short spaced situation with WHTC-FM Holland, and the power was upped to a legal maximum of 100,000 watts.

In February 1978, Liggett changed the AM format to country, and the call letters to **WRDD** (Big Red Radio), and also built a new 5 KW AM directional transmitter site for the station along M-84 in southern Frankenlust Township, Michigan. Upon license approval of the new AM facility, he sold WRDD to a local broadcast concern who returned the call letters to **WBCM**. The station would go through another ownership change and change of call letters briefly to **WUNI** (You and I) to **WMAX** in 1992 and simulcast sports-talk station WTRX of Flint. WMAX is of no relation to WMAX-FM 96.1, an IHeartMedia-owned radio station in Holland, Michigan. The simulcast only lasted about ten years when it was then sold to the current Catholic radio operator.

WMAX is also the former call sign of an AM station at 1480 kHz in Grand Rapids, Michigan (now WSLI).

Until April 2018, WMAX's programming was simulcast on WHHQ AM 1250, a station based in Bridgeport that covered much of the same broadcasting area as WMAX.

By day, WTMA broadcasts with 5,000 non-directional watts. But at night, to protect other stations on 1250 AM, WTMA reduces power to 1,000 watts and switches to a directional antenna with a two-tower array. The transmitter is off Eton Road in Charleston. The station streams its programming through its website, WTMA.com as well as through iHeartRadio and free smartphone apps.

## Programming

In weekday morning drive time, WTMA airs a local news and information show hosted by John Quincy and Sheree Bernardi. The rest of the weekday schedule is made up of nationally syndicated conservative talk shows, mostly from Cumulus subsidiary Westwood One. They include Chris Plante, Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, Mark Levin, Dan Bongino, Rich Valdés, *Red Eye Radio* and *America in the Morning*.

Weekends feature shows on money, health, real estate and gardening, along with repeats of weekday shows. Each hour begins with world and national news from ABC News Radio.

## History

WTMA signed on the air on June 16, 1939. It was an NBC Red Network affiliate and is the Charleston area's second-oldest AM radio station. Of those two, WTMA is the only one to maintain its current call letters. (Charleston's oldest station is WSPO 1390 AM. Originally WCSC, it went on the air in 1930.)

In 1945, WTMA added an FM sister station which today is 95.1 WSSX. From its beginnings through the early 1960s, WTMA carried NBC's dramas, comedies, news, sports, soap operas, game shows and big band broadcasts during the "Golden Age of Radio."

From the early 1960s through 1981, WTMA broadcast a Top 40 format and was an ABC Contemporary Network affiliate. But like many other AM Radio Top 40 stations, it switched to an adult contemporary format in the early 80s until 1986 when young people began tuning in FM stations for the latest hits. Over time, WTMA tried a couple different formats including R&B-flavored oldies and classic country music. Then on June 1, 1989, it switched to its current talk format, under the ownership of Citadel Broadcasting. Citadel merged with Cumulus Media on September 16, 2011.

In May 1999, WTMA lost popular syndicated shows by Rush Limbaugh and Dr. Laura to new talk radio competitor WSCC. Still, the station jumped from 13th to 7th in the morning and from 16th to 12th with 25-54 listeners. Program director Jason Wilmot said WTMA was still the number one station for news.

**WVUS** is a Catholic radio formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Grafton, West Virginia, serving Grafton and Taylor County, West Virginia. WVUS is owned and operated by Light of Life Community, Inc.

WVUS operates on a frequency of 1190 kHz, a United States and Mexican clear-channel frequency. WVUS must leave the air from sunset to sunrise to prevent nighttime skywave interference to the Class A stations.

## History

WVUS was first licensed as WVVW in 1957; a condition of the station's launch was that principal J. Patrick Beacom had to relinquish his interest in WTCS in Fairmont. The station switched calls to WKGA in July 1982.

In 1986, WKGA would become country formatted WTBZ and begin simulcasting then co-owned WTBZ-FM (now WKTZ-FM). In August 2002, WTBZ-FM was sold to Educational Media Foundation (becoming a K-Love affiliate), while WTBZ dropped country for a rhythmic contemporary hit radio format.

On May 6, 2008, WTBZ became WVUS in the first step as becoming a "new station". Then-owner Appalachian Radio filed an application to move the station from AM 1260 to AM 1190 and increase the station's daytime power to 4,500 watts. On August 8, 2008, WVUS officially began broadcasting on AM 1190.

It was announced on November 6, 2009, that owner Steven Tocco was attempting to sell the station at an asking price of $59,000. Tocco cited low ad revenue and high operating costs as reasons for the sale, and gave a shutdown date of December 31. On December 23, 2009, WVUS was sold to Light of Life Community, Inc. for $62,550. On March 8, 2010, WVUS dropped its adult standards format for Catholic radio programming.

# WKTB-CD

**WKTB-CD** (channel 47) is a low-power, Class A television station licensed to Norcross, Georgia, United States, serving the Atlanta area as an affiliate of the Spanish-language network Telemundo. It is owned by locally based Gray Television alongside CBS affiliate and company flagship WANF (channel 46), and The CW affiliate WPCH-TV (channel 17). WKTB-CD's studios are located on Green River Parkway in Duluth, and its transmitter is located on Goshen Springs Road (near the I-85/SR 140 interchange) just outside Norcross. Master control and most internal operations are based at the shared studios of WANF and WPCH-TV on 14th Street Northwest in Atlanta's Home Park neighborhood.

The 47.2 signal is rebroadcast in widescreen standard definition on full-power WANF to provide a Telemundo signal to the entire market, using virtual channel 47.1.

## History

### Early years

On April 2, 1990, John R. Broomall received the construction permit for a new low-power television station licensed to Roswell, Georgia, on channel 67. Broomall sold the permit to the Korean American TV Broadcasting Co. in April 1991.

By 1996, Korean American had added Telemundo programming, which aired for most of the day, alongside Chinese- and Korean-language fare. Korean programming aired from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. and again from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m., emphasizing local news, alongside local church service broadcasts and South Korean news and entertainment programs.

The Korean programming, known as KTN, went full-time on a cable channel on AT&T Broadband systems in 2001, which increased its output from six hours a day. Programming continued to include imported and local productions. Meanwhile, channel 67 became channel 38, a result of the clearing of channels 60 to 69 for telecommunications use, in 2000, becoming W38CU. The station's coverage area did not reach much of the city of Atlanta, but it did reach areas of Gwinnett County and DeKalb County with significant ethnic populations.

### Digital era

Korean American TV obtained a permit to construct W47DN-D as its digital companion channel on channel 47, with a superior technical facility covering much of the metropolitan area. In 2009, W38CU obtained Class A status and became WKTB-CA; this transferred to the digital transmitter in 2011 upon consolidation under one license. In 2009, the station reaffiliated with Telemundo. In August 2013, a subchannel on full-power WPXA-TV began repeating WKTB-CD's Telemundo feed in standard definition, using virtual channel 47.11. In June 2021, this moved to WSB-TV.

### Sale to Gray Television

On February 7, 2022, it was announced that Gray Television would purchase WKTB-CD and sister company Surge Digital Media, an ad agency specializing in multicultural clients and services, for $30 million, pending approval of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC); this would make WKTB-CD a sister station to Gray's duopoly of CBS affiliate WGCL-TV (channel 46, now WANF) and independent station WPCH-TV (channel 17). The sale was completed on April 1, and with it, its full-power simulcast moved to WGCL's spectrum, remaining mapped to 47.1.

## Newscasts

In 2012, Telemundo Atlanta began offering a full local news service with newscasts at 6 and 11 p.m.; the station had previously produced three daily 90-second news briefs prior to the expansion. A 5:30 p.m. newscast was added in 2015. Telemundo Atlanta's news was originally helmed by local anchor Jorge Buzo, now of WUVC-DT in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Luis Estrada is the anchor of *Noticiero Telemundo Atlanta*.

## Subchannels

The station's signal is multiplexed:

Subchannels of WKTB-CD
| Channel | Res. | Aspect | Short name | Programming |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 47.2 | 1080i | 16:9 | TMDOHD | Telemundo |

| | 47.5 | WKTB365 | The365 |
| | 47.6 | WKTBOUT | Outlaw |
| | 47.7 | 16:9 | TOONS | MeTV Toons |

The WKTB-CD feed on the WANF multiplex uses channel 47.1.

# WORD (AM)

**WORD** (950 kHz), known on-air as "The Fan Upstate", is a sports-formatted AM radio station in the Greenville-Spartanburg area of Upstate South Carolina. The Audacy, Inc. outlet is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to Spartanburg, South Carolina, and broadcasts with a power of 5,000 watts during the day and 65 watts at night using a non-directional antenna. The programming on WORD is simultaneously broadcast on WYRD 1330 AM Greenville; W249DL 97.7 MHz, Greenville; and W246CV 97.1 MHz, Spartanburg. "The Fan Upstate" format can also be heard on WFBC-FM HD3, Greenville. WORD's transmitter is located on the aptly named Broadcast Drive in Spartanburg, while its studios are in Greenville.

## History

WORD signed on September 1, 1940, at 910 AM as Spartanburg's second radio station. under the ownership of Spartanburg Advertising Company which also owned WSPA, a station that was established a decade previous. WORD utilized studio and tower space from WSPA.

In 1944 the FCC ordered the WSPA-WORD combo to be broken up due to ownership regulations which prohibited an owner from having more than one AM station per market. This was completed on March 17, 1947, when WORD was sold to Spartan Radiocasting. Sister FM station WDXY (100.5 FM) signed on the air April 14, 1948, but would sign off the air by the end of the 1950s.

In 1952, a dispute erupted between both Spartan Radiocasting and Liberty Life over a proposed allocation for VHF TV channel 7 in Spartanburg. It was settled in 1958 when Spartan Radiocasting bought back WSPA-AM and FM from Liberty Life Insurance and spinning off WORD and WDXY to different ownership.

WORD was well known as Spartanburg's Top 40 powerhouse in the 1960s and 1970s under the name "Big Word". Some of the South's heavy weights worked there during the 1970s that included Russ Spooner, Bob Canada, Kemosabi Joe Johnson, Fred Hardy and Robert W. Morgan (not the same Morgan that worked at KHJ) though. The Inimitable MojoMan (Sid D. Grubbs) also worked there in the 1970s. By the 1980s, WORD faced declining audience shares from FM competitors WANS and WFBC-FM, and switched to various formats before going dark in 1989. In October 1990, WORD signed back on as a simulcast of WFBC from Greenville as both stations switched to news/talk with WFBC becoming WYRD in the mid-90s.

In 2002, Entercom Communications moved the "News Radio WORD" format from the weaker 910 AM, which previously held the WORD callsign, to 950 AM. The programming at 950 AM was then moved to 910 AM, along with the WSPA calls. WSPA at 910 has since been sold and is now WOLI.

WORD's transmitter is located near the Spartanburg Community College campus (3 miles northwest of downtown Spartanburg) at 245 Broadcast Drive. Its general coverage area is from Gaffney to Greer (Spartanburg Metro), with secondary coverage in the Greenville area. Although WORD transmits with 5,000 watts of power like its counterpart, WYRD, its signal is somewhat stronger due to its lower dial position.

The station added WYRD-FM, now at 98.9 on the dial (originally stationed at 106.3), as a second simulcast partner in 2008. The simulcast continued until the switch from talk to sports by the AM stations.

Until its change in format from talk to sports on March 29, 2014, News Radio WORD carried Russ and Lisa, Mike Gallagher, Coast to Coast AM, Rush Limbaugh, Kim Komando, Lars Larson, Dave Ramsey, Sean Hannity and Bob McLain.

On March 23, 2022, WORD rebranded as "The Fan Upstate" and switched affiliations from ESPN Radio to CBS Sports Radio and BetQL Network.

# Wainwright Airport (Alaska)

**Wainwright Airport** (IATA: **AIN**, ICAO: **PAWI**, FAA LID: **AWI, formerly 5WW**) is a public use airport located in Wainwright, a city in the North Slope Borough of the U.S. state of Alaska. The airport is owned by the North Slope Borough.

As per Federal Aviation Administration records, the airport had 3,547 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008, 3,770 enplanements in 2009, and 4,129 in 2010. It is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a *non-primary commercial service* airport (between 2,500 and 10,000 enplanements per year).

Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned **AWI** by the FAA and **AIN** by the IATA. The airport's ICAO identifier is **PAWI**.

## History

The airport was built in 1957 to support the Distant Early Warning Line Radar station at Wainwright (LIZ-3). The station was logistically supported by the 711th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron, which was based at Cape Lisburne Air Force Station, although civilian contract workers operated Point Lay.

The radar station was upgraded in the late 1980s with new radars and in 1989 was re-designated part of the North Warning System (NWS) as a Long Range Radar Site, A-16. The LRR site was inactivated in 2007 due to soil erosion and budget concerns. The airport remains open to support the small settlement under the control of the Pacific Air Forces Regional Support Center based at Joint Base Elmendorf–Richardson.

## Facilities and aircraft

Wainwright Airport resides at elevation of 45 feet (14 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 5/23 with a gravel surface measuring 4,494 by 110 feet (1,370 x 34 m).

Four friends—Vishwa, Ashraf, Sadha, and Christy—who live in different cities of India are criminals involved in cybercrime. They hack computers for money in video conferencing.

Mitra, a painter, joins Christy's room as her flatmate. Vishwa then recommends a job for Mitra's brother which makes her happy and both become friends. She explains that her father lost his job because of the false blame of erasing all important data. Vishwa then feels bad as he was the one behind it. Slowly, Vishwa starts loving her and decides to propose. After his proposal, Mitra accepts his love by gifting him a painting. When they are about to meet all flights get cancelled due to the lockdown. Later they start a video call and decide not to hang up until they meet.

Things change when an unknown man attacks Mitra and Christy. He stabs Christy and ties Mitra to a chair. Vishwa who was seeing it all gets tensed and pleads to the man not to harm them. But the man threatens to kill them if Vishwa doesn't obey his words. He asks Vishwa to reveal his original identity to Mitra. The man then asks to reveal the identity of his friends Sadha and Ashraf but he initially refuses. The man then tries to kill Mitra. Vishwa with no other option left reveals their identity. The man then sends their identity to Khan (a cyber security officer). Vishwa also sends a secret message along with the identity. With that Khan sees that Mitra is in danger so he goes to the location sent to arrest the unknown man.

The man then tells why he was doing this. He reveals that he had developed a game by selling everything he had. It is told that Vishwa hacks the game and sells the data to a big company. He says that his wife had committed suicide and he wanted Vishwa to face the pain that he was facing so he tries to kill Mitra.

## Reception

Calling it an "engaging tale," Prakash Pecheti of *Telangana Today* wrote: "KV Guhan, who made his mark with his debut flick *118*, yet again shows his skill as a storyteller with a screenplay that is taut." Praising the performances, reviewer from *Sakshi Post* said: "Arun Adith steals the show with his stellar performance in the film. Shivani Rajasekhar's charm lies in her innocent appearance and her impeccable performance which makes the film an endearing watch." *The Times of India* critic Thadhagath Pathi rated the film 2.5/5 and wrote, "*WWW* tries to be fresh in its attempt but it’s a major let-down. Director KV Guhan could’ve pulled off this one better."

*123telugu.com* stated: "WWW is a cybercrime thriller with a decent backdrop. However, logicless scenes, slow narration, and lack of depth in emotions take the film down in no time." Aithagoni Raju of *Asianet News Network* appreciated the novel attempt by Guhan but opined that the screenplay and pacing could've been better. A critic writing for *Eenadu* opined that barring a few good sequences, the film failed to impress. On contrary, *News18 Telugu*'s Kiran Kumar Thanjavur praised the film, direction and performances, calling it a "must-watch."

# WZOR

**WZOR** (94.7 FM) is a commercial radio station serving the Green Bay, Fox Cities and lakeshore areas of Northeastern Wisconsin. The station is licensed to the Manitowoc County community of Mishicot, Wisconsin, and airs an active rock music format as "Razor 94.7 & 104.7". WZOR's studios are located on College Avenue in Appleton, while its transmitter is located near Denmark.

## History and Programming

The station launched in 1994 as **WGBM**, and previously aired adult contemporary and classic country formats before being sold to current owner Woodward Communications in 2000.

"Razor 94.7" WZOR debuted on February 28, 2000, with the song "Head Like a Hole" by Nine Inch Nails. When the station debuted, it started with 94 days straight of just music. After that, the very first DJ, who was then Assistant Program Director Roxanne Steele, took to air. At this time, sister station WAPL Program Director Joe Calgaro was running the station. It did not take long for Roxanne to then take over the station completely and become PD. She brought on Pete Burns to anchor nights, along with The Local Edge, and Over the Edge. In 2005, then-afternoon host Cutter became Roxanne's Assistant. In 2007, after Roxanne had left, Joe Calgaro took over as Razor PD once again with the help from Cutter, but in late 2008, she was brought back, this time as Promotions Director for both Razor and sister station WAPL. In March 2009, after Cutter had left, then-WAPL Assistant Program Director Elwood took over the APD duties for WZOR as well. In late 2012, Joe Calgaro put in his resignation and moved to Milwaukee to take over WHQG. Elwood was promoted to Program Director again for both stations and parent company Woodward Communications brought back Cutter to host afternoons and handle Social Media and music duties.

WZOR won the RadioContraband Rock Radio Award for "Small Market Radio Station" 2013 and 2014.

In 2018, Woodward acquired WBJZ in Berlin, Wisconsin; on June 13, 2018, the station became a simulcast of WZOR. On October 15, 2018, Woodward changed the call sign to WZOS.

### The Morning Razor

The Morning Razor was the name of the morning show from late 2000 until March 2009, when Woodward began syndicating *The Free Beer and Hot Wings Show* from across Lake Michigan in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The show's first host was Driver. In 2001, The Kidd was brought in. Over his tenure, Kidd had many different co-hosts, including comedian Mike Merryfield and comedian Mike Prell. After Mike Prell left, radio morning veteran Bryan Scott (also known as Bill Ding) became the co-host. Bill left in 2006 to go to competitor Y100. Shortly after, Kidd also left. In their place, former WAPL/WLUM/WJJO DJ Rex Charger took over The Morning Razor. In late 2007, then APD and afternoon host Cutter took over until the move to syndicated programming.
