WFXN-FM (102.3 FM) — branded 102.3 The Fox — is a commercial classic rock radio station licensed to Galion, Ohio. Owned by iHeartMedia, Inc., WFXN-FM is the local affiliate for The Bob & Tom Show and The House of Hair with Dee Snider. The WFXN-FM studios are located in Mansfield, while the station transmitter resides in Galion. Besides a standard analog transmission, the station is available online via iHeartRadio.

WFXN-FM primarily serves the Mid-Ohio counties of Richland, Crawford, and Morrow, but also extends its signal by using a single full-power repeater. Licensed to Loudonville, Ohio, repeater WXXF (107.7 FM) provides additional coverage to the Mid-Ohio counties of Holmes, Ashland, and Wayne.

WFXN-FM began as WQLX on November 8, 1974. At first, WQLX simulcast WGLX/Galion (1570 AM) was owned by Harry Gray's Radio Galion. After only owning the station for one year, Gray had a heart attack at the age of 58, the control of the station was transferred to Joseph Billow until a sale could take place. In 1976, Maumee Valley Broadcasting owned by Ray Malone for $166,000. Malone would own the station along with sister WGLX/Galion and WNDH-FM/Napoleon before selling in 1996 to Dean Stampfli's Ashland/Knox Broadcasting for $161,000. In 1997, Ohio Radio Group (nee Ashland/Knox) changed the station's callsign to WGLN. On October 2, 2000, Clear Channel purchased Ohio Radio Group which included WQIO Mount Vernon, Ohio, WMVO Mount Vernon, Ohio, WWBK Fredericktown, Ohio, WBZW Loudonville, Ohio, WNCO-AM Ashland, Ohio and WNCO-FM Ashland, Ohio . Over the next two years, the station callsign changed three times: in 2002 to WFXN; in 2003 to WXFN-FM; and again in 2003, to WFXN-FM.
