WCXN (1170 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Mexican Regional music format. Licensed to Claremont, North Carolina, USA, the station is currently owned by Birach Broadcasting. ==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.〕 Birach Broadcasting Corp. bought WCXN from Davidson Media Group LLC in 2007.〔"Deals," ''Broadcasting & Cable'', April 9, 2007.〕 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「WCXN」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
