WLXN (1440 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a classic hits format. Licensed to Lexington, North Carolina, US, it serves the Piedmont Triad area. The station is currently owned by Davidson County Broadcasting. Its programming is also simulcast on a translator, W260BG (99.9 FM).
The station broadcasts NASCAR events and University of North Carolina games.
Originally, this station was called WBUY. In 1984, when co-owned WLXN-FM became WKOQ, the AM became WLXN and played Southern gospel and later soft adult contemporary music; then WLXN changed to news/talk.
In 2010, several months after co-owned Majic 94.1 dropped oldies, that station's web site announced oldies were returning, on WLXN. The change took place on February 28, 2011.
On November 19, 2014 WLXN rebranded as "Majic 99.9". The station has also switched from Kool Gold to Tom Kent's 24/7 FUN. Max McGann and Ralph Shaw continued hosting the morning show until August 2015. The AM tower moved to the northern part of Davidson County, and the FM translator received a signal increase. In January 2016, Willie Edwards and Corie Odden took over the morning show.
W260BG's license is currently held by Educational Media Foundation, which programs WLXN's sister station, WWLV.
