WXCF is a classic hits and oldies broadcast radio station licensed to Clifton Forge, Virginia. WXCF serves Clifton Forge and Covington. WXCF is owned and operated by WVJT, LLC.[1]
WXCF received its construction permit in December 1972 and applied for its license to broadcast on January 4, 1973.[2]
The station went silent on January 18, 2012, citing a need for "significant repairs". The callsign WHTU was "parked" on the license for several weeks in November 2012 before it was put into use on the former WXCF-FM the following month. As the Telecommunications Act of 1996 mandates automatic deletion of any station that is continuously silent for one year, WXCF returned to the air in the afternoon of January 17, 2013.[3]
In early 2016, WXCF switched from simulcasting WJVR to airing its own classic hits and oldies format.
WXCF is an affiliate of University of Virginia sports, including football, basketball, and Coaches’ shows throughout each season.
In addition to the main station, WXCF is relayed by an FM translator.[4]
