WIXC (1060 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Titusville, Florida, and serving the Space Coast. It has a classic country format. It is owned by Genesis Communications I, Inc. and operated by Marc Radio Orlando, LLC. The main radio studio and offices are in Mims, north of Titusville. A sales office formerly located in the Suntree area of Melbourne was closed.
By day, WIXC transmits 50,000 watts, the maximum for commercial AM stations. Because 1060 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A KYW Philadelphia and XECPAE Mexico City, WIXC must reduce power to 5,000 watts at night to avoid interference. During critical hours, the power is 17,000 watts. A directional antenna is used at all times. The transmitter is on West Main Street in the Sweetwater Downs neighborhood in Mims.[2]
