WIXV (95.5 FM, "I-95") is a Rock formatted radio station targeted to Savannah, Georgia, United States. It is owned by Cumulus Broadcasting. Its studios are located on Television Circle in Savannah and utilizes a transmitter located west of the city in unincorporated Chatham County. The station takes its I-95 branding from Interstate 95, which runs through the Savannah area, only skirting city proper on the west.

History

The station started as in 1972 as WSGF (95SGF), a Top 40-leaning adult contemporary station. The station was highly successful against other competitors such as 1400 AM and Z102. By 1983, seeing the gap left by Wave 97 when they dropped album rock earlier that year, WSGF had become WIXV and added more hard rock to the playlist. In 1986 I-95 became Savannah's full-time rock station.

Former personalities

In 2005-2006 the night DJ was named "Caveman".[1]
