WCSX

WCSX (94.7 FM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Birmingham, Michigan, and serving Metro Detroit.

WCSX transmits its signal from a tower at 951 feet in height above average terrain (HAAT) with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 13,500 watts.

Honey Radio was originally automated using Drake-Chenault's "Classic Gold" format, but transitioned to live personalities (on AM 560 only) around 1980.

In 1976, WHNE became WMJC, "Magic 95," with a Soft Adult Contemporary format modeled after Greater Media's successful WMGK in Philadelphia.

The format was syndicated by TM and was also picked up on other Greater Media FM stations including WMGQ in New Brunswick, New Jersey, in the New York City suburbs.

WCSX's most played bands are classic rock staples The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith and Tom Petty, along with hometown artist Bob Seger.

WCSX competition includes WLLZ, owned by iHeartMedia, which returned to the format in January 2019 with a harder-edged sound, after once being Classic Rock WDTW-FM.

WCSX did briefly expand its playlist to harder classic rock in 1996-97 (bands like Rush, Van Halen, Def Leppard, etc.)

when Greater Media bought then-recently defunct station WLLZ's library, but went back to its toned down approach when WWBR went to a harder classic-rock format.

The station also had a short run of playing current songs from their mainstay artists, using the slogan; "It doesn't have to be old to be a classic".
