WXTG-FM
signed on in August 2001 as WANN. It later became
mainstream urban as "Hot 102.1" under the callsign WWHV. WWHV's then owner, On Top Communications, went into bankruptcy in 2005. WWHV was bought by
Red Zebra Broadcasting in 2007. The company had already owned
WXTG, and began simulcasting the two stations beginning January 29, 2007. On the air, the stations usually only used the FM's frequency, except once per hour for the formal
station identification. Under Red Zebra, WXTG-AM-FM aired a
sports radio format. "102.1 The Game" carried most of the
Fox Sports Radio lineup as well as all games of the
Washington Redskins (like Red Zebra, owned by
Daniel Snyder). The station had one local weekday show,
The 757 Club, which is named for
the region's area code. The hosts were John "Johnny D" Decandido and Bartley "Pretty Boy" Barefoot. Decandido was a former host on Fox Sports Radio, and Barefoot is a graduate of
Old Dominion University. On July 30, 2013, Red Zebra sold WXTG-AM-FM to
Williamsburg-based Davis Media, LLC for $1.2 million. The sale was consummated on April 7, 2014. Davis Media, LLC, also owns
WTYD in
Deltaville, Virginia and
WBQK in
West Point, Virginia. On August 1, 2013, WXTG-FM began simulcasting WTYD's
adult album alternative (AAA) music format. On January 7, 2019, WXTG-AM-FM became a 24-hour news and business station, calling itself "All News 102." The AAA format continued on co-owned WTYD. On June 5, 2020, WXTG-AM-FM dropped the "All News 102" news format and switched back to a simulcast of AAA-formatted WTYD. On July 15, 2020, WXTG-FM flipped to urban contemporary, branded as "Streetz 87.7 & 102.1" (simulcasting low-power TV station
WMTO-LP channel 6, which airs at 87.75 MHz in anticipation of the latter frequency shutting down on July 13 of the next year, but did not). ==References==
