By combining all these resources to focus on great programming, Cox Radio can give listeners more of why their listening, and less interruptions.

Currently, our formats include several varieties of News/Talk, CHR, Rock, Country, Urban, Eighties, AC, Oldies, and Gospel.

Local Events

Since the local community is the lifeblood of a successful radio station, Cox Radio stations never miss a chance to participate in local events. We want to have local people turn to us, not just turn us on. Though station events like concerts and festivals, baby and job fairs, remotes and appearances, it’s equally important to be good citizens of the community. Our stations are regularly a part of local events that support charities, schools and other community organizations.
