whex

does anyone have any info on this station. I remember going to amish country one time, around 1972 and picking up this station playing great oldies. I am pretty sure it was way up the top of the dial, the slogan was "hex, we will put a spell on you". There was also a jock that was a famous singer on the lineup, they kept promoting, it was live and local but very weak. It might of been coming out of Reading, Harrisburg, York, Lancaster areas, I cannot find anything on them, but it was a great oh wow type format, were they oldies before WCAU-FM??

WHEX, Columbia, PA. 1580, 500 watts daytime.

It had been owned by the same person who ran WYRE in Annapolis, but was sold to a group of local businessmen in 1975.

WCOY was its earlier call sign. It became WHEX in April, 1971

WHEX is now WVZN, a Radio Vision Cristiana Spanish religious station. It has been operating from a temporary longwire antenna ever since it got evicted from its transmitter site in January 2007. As of July 2019 the owners were still working on constructing a permanent transmitter site for it.

Not that any of the youngsters here care or knew who he was (btw he had a string of hit records in my era) but someone sent me this, mystery solved...Jimmy Clanton became a disc jockey at WHEX in Columbia, Pennsylvania, between 1972 and 1976...
