WJXN (100.9 FM, "G100.9") is a radio station serving the Jackson, Mississippi area, broadcasting a classic hip-hop format. The station is owned by Flinn Broadcasting Corporation. Its studios are located in Ridgeland and the transmitter site is in Crystal Springs, Mississippi.
History
On August 1, 2017, WJXN stopped broadcasting. (The classic country format moved to WHJT 93.5 FM Kearney Park.[1])
On October 9, 2017, after two months of silence, WJXN returned to the air with a classic hip-hop format, billing itself as Hot 100.9. During this three month tenure, the station utilized national programming from Westwood One's Classic Hip-Hop presentation. On January 5, 2018, (after nearly three months of being Hot), WJXN was rebranded as G100.9, this time under a LMA deal with Alpha Media, which in turn replaced the Westwood One programming with Alpha's in-house presentation, thus putting it in line with Alpha's "G" branded stations.[2]
