In July 1947, the station first
signed on the air as WMAP. It was a 1,000-watt station in
Monroe, North Carolina. WMAP added an FM sister station at 102.3. The FM station was later sold off, although today it is co-owned again and is
WGSP-FM. WXNC went
dark in 1995. After a two-year absence, it came back as WKRE in March 1997. The studios were later moved to Charlotte. The signal was increased to 5,000 watts. As a Charlotte-based station, WXNC had a
talk radio format known as The Conversation Station. The announcement was made that WXNC would also be heard on
WKMT at 1220 AM, also owned by Kevin and Kris Geddings. Later, the Norsan Group, which already owned 1310 WGSP, bought WXNC, which soon changed to a
Spanish language format and began its simulcast of the "La Tremenda" network with WGSP. At one time
WGSP-FM (formerly WRML) at 102.3 FM simulcast this station. On May 28, 2025, at 11:58 pm, WXNC and
WNOW flipped from Mainstream Regional Mexican (“La Z”) to Classic Regional Mexican as “Leyendas” ==References==
