History edit
The station's construction permit was issued on March 27, 2012 under the calls of W05DF-D. The callsign changed to the current WEXZ-LD on November 11, 2015.[3]
The station was built and operated by Joe Jurkenas, who got his start in radio as a top 40 jock at Worcester’s WAAB in the late 60’s. (Air name was Joey Collins). A boy electronic genius, Joe passed the FCC’s first class radio telephone license on his first try at age 15. He then went on NYC as an announcer at CBS owned properties.
