History

The station signed on the air on April 1, 1957; 66 years ago (1957-04-01).^[8] The original call sign was WRKE. It was a daytimer station, required to go off the air at night. The studios were in the American Theater Building.

The station later became WTOY with an R&B and Soul music format, aimed at Roanoke's African-American community. In the 2010, it switched its call sign to WFJX, airing a talk radio format, known as "Fox Radio 910."
