WFXC

Owned by Radio One along with K97.5 and The Light 103.9, "Foxy 107/104" plays "Today's R&B and Classic Soul" and airs the Rickey Smiley morning show and the D.L.

With WDBS's commercial dial position increasing in value, Duke sold the station to the Village Companies in 1983 and applied for a non-commercial license.

Though WFXC had recently moved from Rose of Sharon Road in western Durham County to a more centrally located taller tower off NC 98, it was hampered by its 3,000-watt signal—a consequence of being short-spaced to stations in Southern Pines and Clinton also at 107.1.

In hopes of gaining more ratings traction, the station switched to a rhythm and blues/urban adult contemporary format targeting an older, upscale audience in 1990.

In the spring of 1992, WFXC found a fix for its coverage shortfall in WCAS (104.3 FM), a faltering 100,000-watt move-in from Tarboro programming adult contemporary.

The "Class" format attracted some notable personalities from other area stations such as WRAL morning man "Famous" Bob Inskeep, but never really took off ratings wise.

With WCAS' transmitter located as close as it could legally get to the core of the Triangle while still providing city-grade coverage of Tarboro, it had a weak signal in the western portion of the market (Durham, Chapel Hill).
