WXIC (660 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Waverly, Ohio, calling itself "Ohio's Gospel Giant." It airs a Southern Gospel radio format and is owned by Jackson County Broadcasting, Inc (and formerly owned by Crystal Communications Corp.) News updates are supplied by ABC News Radio .[1] [2]
By day, WXIC is powered at 1,000 watts using a non-directional antenna. But because 660 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A WFAN New York City, WXIC is a daytimer and must sign off at night to avoid interference. WXIC's signal covers South-Central Ohio and parts of Kentucky and West Virginia.
In 1954, the station first signed on as WPKO at 1380 kHz. It originally was a country music station with some Southern Gospel music on Sundays. In 1971, it added an FM sister station at 100.9, playing automated beautiful music. Today that is co-owned WXIZ, a country music station.
The WPKO call sign is now being used at an FM station in Bellefontaine, Ohio.
