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.
