WCXS is a commercial radio station in Arcadia, Florida, broadcasting on 1480 AM with a classic country format. The station previously ran a slate of syndicated talk programing including Doug Stephan, Todd Starnes and Sean Hannity, as well as the shows of financial councilor Dave Ramsey and News/Talk Personality Tom Sullivan, and hourly news updates from CBS Radio News. Weekends featured a combination of news and do it yourself programming.

History

The call sign WFLN was originally assigned in 1949 to a Philadelphia FM radio station located at 95.7 MHz.[2] In 1956, WFLN (900 kHz) was started as a simulcast of the FM programming. WFLN was sold in 1985 and became WDVT. WFLN-FM continued operations until 1997 when it was sold, changed format and was renamed WXXM. Today, this station is identified by the call sign WBEN-FM. The Philadelphia WFLN was primarily a classical music station.

In May 2020 WFLN changed their format from news/talk to classic country, branded as "Classic Country 104.5", under new WCXS calls.[3]
