WFOX (95.9 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a talk radio format, simulcast with WICC (600 AM). Licensed to Southport, Connecticut, the station is owned by Connoisseur Media and serves the Greater Bridgeport area.[1] The WFOX studios are located on Wheelers Farms Road in Milford, and its transmitter is on Shirley Street in Norwalk.
WFOX signed on in 1966 as WDRN.
In 1976, it changed its call letters to WLYQ, meaning "We Like You". Branded "Q96", it carried a Top 40 format.[2]
In April 2006, the current call letters replaced WEFX.[3]
On May 13, 2019, WFOX relaunched its classic rock format with a playlist centered on 1980s-2000s rock.[4]
On September 3, 2024, following a week-long "The History of Alternative Rock" feature, WFOX dropped its rock format in favor of a simulcast of talk-formatted sister station WICC (600 AM). None of WFOX's on-air staff was let go, as the Chaz & AJ morning show was simulcast from WPLR in New Haven and the midday and afternoon hosts had other duties with Connoisseur Media.[5] The WICC simulcast was in part prompted by the end of the all-news format of WCBS in New York City; concurrently with the start of the simulcast, WICC began carrying CBS Radio Network newscasts,[6] announced the hiring of former WCBS anchor Brigitte Quinn to host an early afternoon show,[7] and relaunched as "The Voice of Connecticut".[8]
