WFXM (107.1 FM) is a radio station serving the Macon, Georgia, area with a mainstream urban format. This station is licensed to Georgia Radio Alliance, LLC.

History

The station began operation as WKOG-FM. The FCC authorized WKOG-FM in Gordon to begin program operation on 107.1 MHz on March 30, 1976, with an effective radiated power of 3 kW and an antenna height above average terrain of 98 feet.2 The FCC granted the license covering the new FM station the following year.3

The station went through several call-letter changes in its early decades. In 1979, Broadcasting listed an application to change WKOG-FM's call sign to WIZY-FM.4 In 1984, Broadcasting listed WQXM-FM as the new call sign sought by WIZY-FM.5 In 1990, FMedia! listed the Gordon station on 107.1 as WYGO, formerly WQXM-FM, and later as WMRW, formerly WYGO-FM.6

In late 1991, The M Street Journal reported that WMRW, then listed with an adult contemporary/jazz format, would become WNEX-FM with a contemporary hit radio format in January 1992.7 Broadcasting confirmed the WNEX-FM call letters in 1992, listing the change from WMRW and identifying Quality Broadcasting Inc. as the licensee.8

The station briefly returned to the WQXM-FM call sign in 1994, with FMedia! listing WQXM-FM as formerly WNEX-FM.9 By 1997, the station was operating as WALJ. That year, The M Street Journal reported that WALJ had changed from smooth jazz to urban adult contemporary and had entered a local marketing agreement with intent to purchase with Roberts Communications, Inc.10

The WFXM call letters moved to 107.1 in 2000. The M Street Journal reported paired call-letter changes in which WFXM-FM on 100.1 in Forsyth became WQMJ, while WALJ on 107.1 in Gordon became WFXM-FM on March 20, 2000. The station was then using the "Foxy 107" branding.11 The station would later flip to its current hip-hop format under the Power 107.1 branding.12
