History:
Originally licensed to Fayette, this station had the calls WHKW and was targeted to the Starkville-Columbus, MS area as a top 40 in the early 80's. That changed when a couple of area stations all moved to the top 40 format. The station moved to a tower northwest of Northport to better target Tuscaloosa, they switched to country and changed calls to WTXT.
