WESX (1230 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a religious and multi-cultural format, licensed to broadcast in the Nahant, Massachusetts precinct. The station is currently owned by Principle Broadcasting Network. Programming is in Spanish, Portuguese, Creole, and English. The transmitter is located in Lynn, Massachusetts with studios located in Chelsea, Massachusetts.
In 2004, BBC News presenter Rhod Sharp moved to Marblehead, Massachusetts. Wishing to continue to broadcast the BBC Radio 5 Live show Up All Night, he made an arrangement with WESX's owners to use the studios and ISDN line to connect him with Broadcasting House in London, England. The arrangement came to an end in 2007, when Sharp and his wife moved to 18th-century house in Marblehead’s Old Town section, which included a suitably equipped home-studio.
