WRZX -- "X103" or "The X" -- is an FM radio station in Indianapolis, Indiana. The modern rock-formatted station is owned by Clear Channel Communications.

History

The station was origially known as WGEE-FM, airing a country format, then top-40 before becoming WXTZ-FM, broadcasting a beautiful music format. In the late 1980s, the station flipped to an adult contemporary format, "Magic 103.3" and was identified by the call letters WMJC-FM. Just prior to a purchase by Broadcast Alchemy, a company that formed part of what is now Clear Channel, the station became WFXF-FM, playing Classic rock to compete with WFBQ, which became its sister station following the sale.

The station began broadcasting as WRZX on August 21, 1992. [http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/call_hist.pl?Facility_id=59589&Callsign=WRZX]
