WZRX (1590 AM, "NewsPlus 1590") is an all-news radio station in Jackson, Mississippi. Although WZRX simulcasts CNN Headline News, local news is broadcast by the station as well. Randy Bell is the principal local announcer.

Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the station was called W1 (WWUN-AM). It was a Top 40 rock-and-roll station, but it was not as popular as WRBC-AM. The station changed formats to the big-band sound in 1985, later changing the call letters to WYHT-AM (Your Hit Tunes). The hours were expanded to 24 hours a day. John Friskello was the major local announcer. It remained with that format until it changed again in the 1980s. Later, the call letters were changed to WZRZ-AM. For a while, it was a blues station, but the format gradually turned to all black gospel music. The format changed again in 2006 to an all-news, CNN Headline News affiliate.

A Southern-based sports show is broadcast each weekday evening from 5:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m.

The CNN Headline News talk and discussion programs hosted by Nancy Grace and Glenn Beck plus "Showbiz News" are also broadcast each evening.
