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."

Meet our new Afternoon Host

KIXXFM welcomes Rich Mello to our broadcast family.

A Florida native, Rich has been fascinated with radio since childhood. His first radio job was playing classic country on local radio overnight during the summer while in high school. His rich baritone voice soon had him doing commercials and newscasts and working as a staff announcer for a local television station.

At 17, he entered the military and served double duty as a Military Policeman and Journalist. During a break in service to help care for his grandparents, Rich worked at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville where he protected the legends of country music for several years. He returned to finish his military career retiring after 28 years serving the nation. He has narrated numerous training films, tv commercials and was on scene in the Indian Ocean covering the rescue of Captain Richard Phillips from Somali pirates in 2009.

He has worked as news director and newscaster for several news/talk stations across the nation and TV host for a local cable access program in New England, most recently at Channel X radio in Caribou. However, local radio is where his heart is.


You can hear Rich providing entertainment each afternoon from 2 to 6 pm.


Welcome to KIXXFM, RICH !

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.
