WDXI (1310 AM, "News Talk 103.5" is a radio station in Jackson, Tennessee, United States. It broadcasts a Talk format, sharing a name with co-owned WBFG (FM). The station is currently owned by News Talk West Tennessee Media
Established in 1948, WDXI was the key station in the regional Dixie Network station group, owned by Aaron Robinson. Robinson also established the city's first television station, WDXI-TV (now WBBJ-TV), in 1955. After Robinson's death, his estate ran WDXI for a decade before it was sold. Long a country music station, it switched in the early 1990s to a news/talk format.
WDXI fell silent in February 2022, owing to damage to its transmission line and antenna tuning system. It has since been fixed and returned to air.[2]
WDXI switched formats from oldies as "Kool 103.5" to Talk radio as "News Talk 103.5" at midnight on September 16, 2024 expanding coverage to cover more of Jackson & West tn with sister station WBFG-FM "News Talk 96.5".
