The History of Our Station
In 2008, we signed on the air as "Classic Country 94.7 FM". A few years later, we changed our name to "Kixx FM", but continued to play the classic country music that many people love. Our station signal reaches northern Maine and Western New Brunswick, Canada. Today, we are known as "Classic Country 94.7 Kixx FM."
Thomas Barna - October 1, 1962 - February 1, 2023
We are sad to share the news of Tom Barna's passing with you.
Tom was the Chief Engineer of WBCQ. He was responsible for KIXXFM, WXME-98.3FM The Fox, and the Classic WBCQ Shortwave Stations 5.110,7.490 and 6.160
He was also tasked with running the "Superstation" 9330, one of the most powerful shortwave stations in North America, which is the worldwide headquarters of WLC Radio.
Tom was proud to be a Veteran, having served in the US NAVY.
Tom was a daily presence at the WBCQ Complex of stations for a number of years and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Don't forget to come out and check them out once we start the viewings! I won't say much but as of now we have secured more trees than last year with more confirmations still coming in! It's truly amazing to watch the local communities pull together to make this possible!
All funds raised this year will go to several local organizations; Danforth Livable Community Center, Danforth Habilitations Birchwood Hills and the local After School Program!
All 3 of these organizations are always looking for way to help out and give back. They lend helping hands for our elderly. They guide our students K-12 and even teach them some life skills. All the way to giving the best care to our local residents that may need more one on one care. All three organizations are willing to step in, if able, with any town functions that may be being held. Whether they are volunteering or are adding their own creativeness to the festivities, you know theres a sure chance to see someone there representing them!
I think everyone has been helped one way or another by one of the 3 organizations and this is just a small way to say "THANKS"
