History

In 1989, Don Lee was general manager of WCXN and WPAR-FM, which played Southern gospel music [Joseph Galarneau, "Religion Via Airwaves: More Listeners Tune in Christian Radio Stations," "The Charlotte Observer", November 15, 1989.] .

In the early 1990s, Robert Barnette, a Taylorsville minister who helped raise money for WPAR, started a show on WCXN. He was soon joined by Dean "Bubba" Lilly. Their "Swap Shop" program could be heard in 17 counties, but it wasn't just the merchandise, described as "tacky." Announcer Jim Stinson said, "We're laughing ourselves silly with Barnette and Lilly." [Dannye Romine Powell, "Bobby & Bubba Tickle the Airwaves," "The Charlotte Observer", April 12, 1993.]

In August 1997, WCXN switched to Spanish language programming. Soon after that, the station added a Hmong show on Sunday mornings [Jen Pilla, "Claremont Station Begins Broadcasting in Hmong," "The Charlotte Observer", October 3, 1997.] . Just over a year later, the Hmong show had expanded from 90 minutes to four hours [Jen Pilla, "Radio Reach-Out," "The Charlotte Observer", January 27, 1999.] . In 2007, Hmong programming aired on Saturday mornings as well [Marcie Young, "Hmongs Connect Over the Airwaves," "The Charlotte Observer", April 15, 2007.] . el primero de junio de 2007 cambia a nombre de la z 1170 am dirijida por abel orozco y jay salazar con programacion abierta para el publico para los primeros dias del mes de enero del 2008 desiden cambiarle el nombre a la tremenda ya con nueva administracion.
