WMXX-FM
WMXX-FM (103.1 FM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Jackson, Tennessee, broadcasting a classic hits music format known as "Kool 103 FM". The station is currently owned by Gerald W. Hunt. History In 1976, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) designated for comparative hearing three different applications for the 103.1 MHz frequency, from Charles C. Allen; Community Service Broadcasting, owner of WDXI (1310 AM); and Madison County Broadcasting, a consortium of J. A. Baxter, Gordon L. Bostic, and Gerald Wayne Hunt. Allen dropped out, and in 1978, an FCC hearing examiner selected the Baxter-Bostic-Hunt bid on grounds that Community Service already owned WDXI and radio stations elsewhere, whereas the Madison County Broadcasting principals owned no stations.
