WCXI (1160 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Fenton, Michigan. The station broadcasts to Metro Detroit and the Flint area. It is owned by the Birach Broadcasting Corporation and it airs a Christian talk and teaching radio format.
By day, WCXI is powered at 15,000 watts. It uses a directional antenna with a three-tower array. But 1160 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for KSL in Salt Lake City, the dominant Class A station. To protect KSL from interference, WCXI must greatly reduce power at night to 400 watts. The transmitter is off North Maple Avenue in Milford Charter Township, Michigan.[2]
