WXEX (1540 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a '60s, '70s & '80's rock 'n' roll plus Motown music format. It is licensed to Exeter, New Hampshire, USA, and covers the New Hampshire Seacoast region. The station's license was acquired locally by Andy Hartmann and Steve Thomas under the name of Aruba Capital Holdings, LLC.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WXEX Facility Record )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WXEX Station Information Profile )〕 The station currently simulcasts with WXEX-FM Sanford, Maine. ==History== The AM 1540 frequency in Exeter went on the air in 1966 as WKXR under the ownership of Frank Estes, who also owned WKXL in Concord, New Hampshire. Estes sold the station in 1978,〔 and on March 10, 1982, the station was renamed WMYF;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WXEX Call Sign History )〕 by the 1990s, the station held an adult standards format. In 1998, after Capstar acquired WMYF from CBS Radio (which had obtained the station after its purchase of American Radio Systems), the station began to simulcast the news/talk format of WGIR, a sister station in Manchester, New Hampshire; a call change to WGIP followed on October 2.〔 The WMYF call letters would later be moved down the AM dial to 1380, where they remain today. After WGIP was placed into the Aloha Station Trust in 2008 as a result of the privatization of Clear Channel Communications (who acquired the station after several mergers), the station was sold to Aruba Capital Holdings, LLC in 2009. After Aruba closed on the sale on March 9, 2009, the call letters were changed to WXEX〔 and the WGIR simulcast was discontinued. In August 2011 the station entered into a simulcast of co-owned WXEX-FM Sanford, Maine. On April 14, 2015 WXEX owner Aruba Holdings LLC entered into a local marketing agreement with WNBP/WWSF owner Port Broadcasting LLC whereby the latter assumed operational control of WXEX and WXEX-FM. On August 20, 2015 WXEX and its FM sister station shifted their format from classic hits to classic rock, branded as "Classic Rock 92.1".〔(WXEX Shifts to Classic Rock )〕 On August 31, 2015 the WXEX stations merged with the Port Broadcasting stations and Garrison City Broadcasting's WTSN and WBYY to form Coastal Radio Partners, with Port Broadcasting assuming immediate oversight of all stations in the partnership.〔(Local radio stations merge to form new broadcast group ) Judi Currie, Fosters Daily Democrat, August 31, 2015〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WXEX (AM)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
