WNTX is a News/Talk/Sports formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Fredericksburg, Virginia, serving metro Fredericksburg. WNTX is owned and operated by Alpha Media LLC, through licensee Alpha Media Licensee LLC.[1]

History

It was known as WFLS and simulcast with WFLS-FM until 1996, when the calls were changed to WYSK and it started simulcasting WYSK-FM.

On July 5, 2011, WYSK began carrying Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity talk shows during the day.[2] On July 15, 2011, WYSK changed their call letters to WNTX.

On January 23, 2015, Alpha Media "entered into a definitive agreement" to purchase WNTX and sister stations WFLS-FM, WVBX, and WWUZ from Free Lance-Star License, Inc. for an unknown sum.[3] The purchase was consummated on May 1, 2015, at a price of $8.1 million.

Translator

In February 2010, WYSK began simulcasting on translator W243BS at 96.5 FM. On April 16, 2013, W243BS 96.5 dropped its simulcast of sister station WNTX for a simulcast of WFLS-HD2 carrying a Freeform format.[4] The "FredFM" format was dropped in early March 2014, when W243BS resumed simulcasting sister station WNTX.
