WJXN (100.9 FM) is a radio station serving the Jackson, Mississippi area, broadcasting an adult hits format. The station is owned by Memphis-based Flinn Broadcasting, though it is operated under an LMA by Portland, Oregon-based Alpha Media. Its studios are located in Ridgeland, and the transmitter site is in Crystal Springs, Mississippi.
History[]
For several years, WJXN had been leased by the California-based Educational Media Foundation, and was affiliated with K-Love until 2012.
Then, on July 26, 2012—when it was leased by Meridian, Mississippi-based New South Radio (doing business as The Radio People)--WJXN had first switched to adult hits, branded as 100.9 Jack FM.
On March 1, 2014, at midnight, WJXN began stunting; on March 3, the station relaunched as classic country-formatted "100.9 The Legend".
In March 2017, New South Radio had acquired WHJT from Mississippi College. On July 31 of that year, the classic country format moved to WHJT, with New South Radio terminating its lease on WJXN (which had gone briefly silent).[1]
On October 9, 2017, after two months of silence, WJXN returned to the air with classic hip-hop, billing itself as Hot 100.9. During this three-month tenure, the station utilized national programming from Westwood One's Classic Hip-Hop network.
On January 5, 2018, after nearly three months of being Hot, WJXN was rebranded as "g 100.9", this time under an LMA deal with Alpha Media, who in turn replaced the Westwood One programming with Alpha's in-house presentation, thus putting it in line with Alpha's g-branded stations.[2]
On February 19, 2021, WJXN flipped back to adult hits, again as "Jack FM".[3]
