History
Carries the Washington Redskins football games and is the flagship station for CNU football and basketball. WXGM is LIVE 6-11AM and from 2-7PM Monday thru Friday (with Harvey King there 20+ years) with the area's only local station that has a full-time news department; headed up by Herman King since 1991. Local newscasts can be heard at the top of every hour from 6-9AM following ABC News and live newscasts at the bottom of every hour during that same time period. The rest of the dayparts are filled with ABC Radio Networks satellite feed - "Starstation." Xtra has a heavy community involvement in all of their listening area which includes all of the Middle Peninsula, West Point, York County, Williamsburg and James City County. WXGM is the official Coleman Bridge connection station. Even though WXGM primarily serves the Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck, it garners listeners on the Lower Peninsula and shows-up in the Arbitron ratings. They used to simulcast on their AM side (WXGM-AM) but that was dropped on 8/1/03. Signed-on in July 1991 with an AC format currently heard.
