WTXK (1210 AM, "The Ticket") is a sports-formatted radio station licensed to Pike Road, Alabama, United States and serving nearby Montgomery. The station, established in 1968, is currently owned and operated by Frontdoor Broadcasting, LLC as part of a duopoly with Contemporary Christian station WVRV (97.5 FM). Both stations share studios on Carmichael Way in eastern Montgomery, while its transmitter facilities are located between Montgomery and Pike Road.
WTXK serves as the flagship station of the Troy Trojans and as a local affiliate of NASCAR racing via Motor Racing Network and Performance Racing Network. Programming includes syndicated programming from ESPN Radio.
In addition to the 1210 AM frequency, WTXK also broadcasts its programming on translator W298BC (107.5 FM) licensed to Montgomery. That station broadcasts from a transmitter at the studios of local television stations WAKA-TV, WNCF, and WBMM along Harrison Road in Montgomery.
This station began regular broadcast operations on October 5, 1968, as a 1,000 watt daytime-only AM station at 1190 kHz known as WAYD under the ownership of Wade B. Sullivan. WAYD aired a country & western music format through the entire 1970s.
In October 1981, Wade B. Sullivan reached an agreement to sell WAYD to RJG Communications, owned by Raymond F. Akin, Gordon L. Bostic, and J.A. Baxter Jr. The deal was approved by the FCC on December 3, 1981. RJG Communications in turn agreed in February 1983 to sell this station to MSB Communications, Inc. The deal was approved by the FCC on April 8, 1983.
Just over two years later, in August 1985, MSB Communications, Inc., contracted to sell this station to HS Communications, Inc. The deal was approved by the FCC on September 18, 1985, and the transaction was consummated on February 10, 1986.
WAYD received a construction permit on June 16, 1986, that authorized a move from 1190 kHz to 1200 kHz and a power increase to 10,000 watts during the day and to 2,500 watts during critical hours operation. The station received its license to cover this move and upgrade on April 20, 1987.
In October 1988, HS Broadcasting, Inc., reached an agreement to sell this station to Wesley R. Morgan. The deal was approved by the FCC on November 10, 1988, and the transaction was consummated on December 29, 1988. On December 9, 1988, the new owners had the FCC change the station's call letters to WFSF.
