History

[edit]

WLXG signed on as WKLX in 1946. It merged with WLEX (1340) by 1952, keeping the 1300 kHz frequency and getting the WLEX calls. Much of the WKLX airstaff (likeClaude Sullivan and Artie Kay) went toWVLK. James Narz, who later became famed game show hostTom Kennedy, worked at WKLX in 1948.

In 1958, WLEX was sold to Roy B. White and the call letters were changed to WBLG ("Bluegrass"). In the early-1970s, WBLG was an affiliate of theChicago Cubs Radio Network.

Until 1978, WBLG was 1,000 watts non-directional in the daytime, and 1,000 watts directional at night. Daytime power was upped to 2,500 watts in 1978.

WBLG became thecountry-formatted WTKC in 1979.

In 1986, country music gave way tooldies and the calls were changed to WLXG.

In 1990, WLXG switched to anews/talk format. In the mid-2000s, WLXG picked up a sports talk format and became affiliated with ESPN Radio.
