FM radio station in Columbus, Ohio located at 105.7MHz.
WFJX plays '70s and '80s rock music as "1057 The Fox".
WFJX is currently owned by Clear Channel Communications.
WFJX airs the Bob and Tom morning show.
A new station was constructed in Marysville, Ohio at 105.7MHz in 1990 and premiered as Top 40 "Power Pig". This format lasted until 1991 when the station became urban.
The next format change saw the station become '70s oldies, which was simulcast on Circleville's 107.1MHz (now WAZU).
Early in 1997, the station was purchased by Jacor Communications and switched to a country format. Just months later, independent programming was dropped from the 105.7MHz station and simulcasts of country WHOK-FM commenced.
Late in 1997, the station decided to give '70s oldies another try and switched formats again (the third change to take place in 1997).
The next format change saw 105.7 become urban. Urban programming lasted until a frequency swap with Upper Arlington's alternative rock station WZAZ (then located at 98.9MHz). So, urban programming moved to 98.9MHz (the current WXMG ) and alternative rock moved to 105.7MHz.
Eventually, the 105.7MHz station was moved to Columbus and became '70s and '80s rock "The Fox", replacing alternative "Channel Z". The change from "Channel Z" to "The Fox" and transmitter move took place on June 6 2000.
A petition to "Bring back Channel Z" was started after the station switched to '70s and '80s rock, but nothing materialized from this effort. Although many liked the music variety played by "Channel Z", it was not competitive in the ratings with Grove City's alternative station, WWCD.
