WMNX-FM is an Mainstream Urban formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Wilmington, North Carolina and serving the Wilmington Metro area.

History

WMNX was launched in the early 1980s as album-oriented rock WHSL.

In the late 1980s, WHSL shifted to Soft Adult Contemporary music during the day and Smooth Jazz in the evening, with calls WMNX.

In 1992, it switched to Mainstream Urban and began using the branding "Coast 97.3"Fact|date=June 2008.

In 1999, Cape Fear Broadcasting announced the sale of its six stations to Cumulus Broadcasting. The sale was challenged by Ocean Broadcasting of Wilmington because it would give Cumulus 6 FMs and an AM in Wilmington, and about 55 percent of market revenue [Michael Futch, "For Cumulus, the Wait Continues," "The Fayetteville Observer", September 10, 2000.] .

Today, WMNX plays an Mainstream Urban format.
