History

This station received its original construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission on January 15, 2014.[2] The new station was assigned the WXZY-LP call sign by the FCC on January 29, 2014.[3] The station received its license to cover from the FCC on August 14, 2014.[4]

WXZY-LP marks the return of FCC-licensed, locally originated radio to Kane after two previous commercial stations no longer broadcast there. AM 960 WQLE (the former WKZA), the first station in Kane, ceased broadcasting in 1992, while what is now WCGH (the former WLMI) moved to another town in the early 2010s. WXZY operates out of WLMI's former studios on Fraley Street in Kane. Public broadcaster WPSX and religious broadcaster Family Life Network both have repeaters in the borough that do not originate any programs from Kane.

gollark: This is actually quite pleasant to listen to, in a strange way.
gollark: You can also turn up the variance like this which is neat.
gollark: Maybe I should add an "occasional weird artifacts" mode for funlolz.
gollark: No weird artifacts!
gollark: Great, it is now working perfectly.
