WFSX (1240 kHz) and WNOG (1270 kHz) are commercial AM radio stations simulcasting an all-sports radio format. WFSX is licensed to Fort Myers, Florida and WNOG is licensed to Naples. The stations are owned by Sun Broadcasting. Most programming comes from the Fox Sports Radio Network.
WFSX 1240 is also heard on two FM translators, 94.1 W231DC in Fort Myers and 103.3 W277AP in Bayshore. WNOG 1270 is also heard on one FM translator, 105.9 W290DB in Naples.
In 1939, a construction permit was issued to the Fort Myers Broadcasting Company to build a 250 watt radio station.WFTM (for FT. Myers) began broadcasting the following year, Southwest Florida's first radio station. It switched its call sign to WAAC in 1942, becoming an affiliate of the CBS Radio Network, airing its schedule of dramas, comedies, news, sports, soap operas, game shows and big band broadcasts during the Golden Age of Radio. The call letters changed to WINK in 1944, with a boost in power to 1,000 watts by day, but still running 250 watts at night. In 1954, Channel 11 WINK-TV went on the air. Because 1240 WINK was a CBS affiliate, WINK-TV also carried CBS programs, and still is Fort Myers' CBS affiliate today, even though it is under different ownership now. 96.9 WINK-FM signed on in 1964, and is still co-owned with the TV station, but not with 1250 WFSX.
