WLLX-FM (97.5 FM) is a Class C-2 FM radio station serving the Southern Tennessee area. The station was one of the first in the nation to own and operate a live, color weather radar system and distribute the images to its listeners via a subcarrier on the primary FM signal. Because of this, the station was nominated for the Radio Crystal Award in 1988.

The station has had a successful history of serving the community in times of breaking news and severe weather conditions. WLLX-FM was granted a construction permit by the FCC in 2005 to upgrade its power from 9 kW to 50 kW. The project was completed and the station signed on the air in mid-January 2006 serving a population total near 3.5 million in the area south of Nashville, Tennessee to just north of Birmingham, Alabama.

The station is based in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee.

On August 5, 2008 WLLX-FM split it's simulcast with WWLX-AM. The AM station launched soon thereafter with a new branding, Classic Hits WLX, and a new music format, Classic Rock. Classic Hits WLX broadcasts on two FM translators, FM 105.3 and FM 100.9, in addition to the primary AM station.

Both stations are owned and operated by Prospect Communications.
