WTTX (107.1 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a religious music format. Licensed to Appomattox, Virginia, USA, it serves the Southside VA area. The station is currently owned by Positive Alternative Radio.

History

WTTX signed on in the late 1960's as the FM station of full-service AM WTTX (which later became WOWZ). In the early 1980's, Clearview Baptist Church in Rustburg purchased the station and changed the format to Southern Gospel music and religious sermons. Given the limited resources of the church, the station was never automated, meaning live announcers manned the station from sign-on at 6:00am til sign-off at 12:00am.

With failing equipment that was primarily from the 1960's and a limited budget, Clearview began looking for sellers for the station. Despite higher offers from commercial broadcasters, the church sold the station to PAR in 2006, who offered to retain the Southern Gospel format under their "Joy FM" network in North Carolina.
