WXWX 1 ( 96.3 FM) is a radio station licensed to the town of Marietta, Mississippi and owned by Mike Brandt, through licensee Southern Broadcasting LLC. [3] It features a Top 40 (CHR) format known as Wild 96.3. The previous programming was a simulcast arrangement with country-formatted WADI, but the two stations have different owners and have coverage areas which overlap.
WXWX began broadcasting in 2008, and aired a sports format, as an affiliate of ESPN Radio. [1] [4] In summer 2016, the station dropped its sports format. [4] It later adopted an alternative rock format, simulcasting "I96" WIVG in Tunica, Mississippi. [5]
As of November 25, 2022, the station flipped to Top 40/CHR as "Wild 96.3". [6]
