WMEX (AM)

WMEX (1510 kHz) is a commercialAM radio station licensed to Quincy, Massachusetts, and serving the Greater Bostonmedia market. It is owned by Local Media Boston, headed by Tony LaGreca and Larry Justice. WMEX broadcasts an oldies format of hits from the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, as well as full service features including news, traffic and weather. The music is supplied by The True Oldies Channel, a syndicated music service. The station's studios and offices are on Armstrong Road in Plymouth.

By day, WMEX transmits with 10,000 watts, using a non-directional antenna, but 1510 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A station WLAC in Nashville, Tennessee, which itself is directional at night protecting WMEX to the northeast; KGA in Spokane, Washington, to the west, was also formerly a Class A station on the frequency. Since WMEX uses a non-directional antenna, to prevent interference to either station, during critical hours, WMEX drops its power to 2,000 watts, and at night, it further reduces its output to only 100 watts. The transmitter is on Riverside Avenue in Quincy, near the Neponset River. The station was silent from late June 2017 to November 7, 2019, when it returned to the air with new ownership, a new city of license of Quincy, and a reduction in power from the previous output of 50,000 watts directional day and night.
