WKOX
WKOX is an
AM station from
Framingham, Massachusetts. WKOX is on 1200 kHz, and has a power of 10 kW in the daytime, and 1 kW at nighttime. It is owned by
Clear Channel Communications, and currently simulcasts
WXKS-
AM from
Everett, Massachusetts. Since November 2004 the two stations have programmed
progressive talk, mostly from the
Air America Radio network, serving the
Boston metro area.
WKOX was originally a daytime-only station on 1190 kHz, but during the 1980's moved to 1200 kHz to gain authorization to go 24 hours. In the past, WKOX has programmed the following formats: full service,
classic country, local talk, and brokered foreign programming. WKOX signed on an
FM station during the 1950's. Today, that station is 105.7
WROR, owned by
Greater Media with a classic hits format targeting the
Boston, Massachusetts area.
WKOX is highly directional to protect
WOAI (another Clear Channel-owned station and in fact the company's flagship) out of
San Antonio, Texas.
