It was locally owned by the McSwain Family. The station was a full simulcast of co-owned WGNC-1450 AM and was the only FM station ever licensed to Gastonia. The station normally ran a broadcast day of 5:00 AM to 12:00 midnight until the late 1970s, when it began operating 24 hours daily. In 1975, it broke off from its AM sister and began airing an automated adult contemporary format. The call letters were changed to WZXI in 1978. The station was one of three soft adult contemporary stations in the Charlotte market. Protests over the programming change by WEZC in December 1982 led WZXI to change to beautiful music. In 1987, WZXI became WLIT and later switched to a satellite-delivered MOR format.〔Jeff Borden, "Relax: Beautiful Music Is Back," ''The Charlotte Observer'', June 29, 1987.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WBAV-FM」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
