WXAN-FM 30th anniversary celebrates Southern Gospel focus
WXAN is marking 30 years of broadcasting from Lawder's box with a shift to Southern Gospel in the late 1980s after an across-the-board mix failed to please listeners. The station hosts regional gospel concerts, partners with Doug Apple, Bill McCarty, and staff, and credits loyal listeners for success while expanding to web streaming and social media.
