WJXA (92.9FM) is anadult contemporaryradio station. Licensed toNashville, Tennessee, United States, the station serves the Nashville, Bowling Green, Clarksville-Hopkinsville areas. The station is currently owned and licensed byMidwest Communications.[2] Its studios are located in south central Nashville near theTennessee State Fairgrounds and the transmitter site is located in the far western portion of Nashville.
After more than a decade of technical and legal wrangling, the station went on the air in 1976 aseasy listeningWZEZ. On April 20, 1994, the station's call letters changed to WJXA, and moved to a more generic adult contemporary/light rock format as easy listening's relevance faded.[3] It has never wavered from this format since, featuring a mix of both current hits, along with songs back to the mid-70s, which is both "office-safe" and marketed towards women, often being the only adult contemporary station in mid-Tennessee.
Despite Nashville being thought of outside the market as a music hub dominated by variouscountry music radio stations, WJXA has remained the top-rated station in the market for decades.[4][5] The station's success would eventually lead its owners to switch its sister station inKnoxville to the same general format asWJXB-FM in 2002, also a long-time easy-listening station converted to adult contemporary, and with the same market-leading ratings.
Owned bySouth Central Communications for decades, the Wisconsin-based Midwest Communications would acquire most of its stations in September 2014, including WJXA, WJXB andWCJK, for $72 million, with no changes to WJXA's format outside regular staff attrition since then.[6][7]
