context_page_description: WXJX is an American radio station serving the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. The station is owned by Laurel Highland Total Communications, Inc., through licensee LHTC Media, Inc., also licensee of WCNS radio in Latrobe.
  WXJX broadcasts on 910 kHz with a maximum power output of 5,000 watts daytime and 69 watts nighttime. It is licensed to the borough of Apollo, Pennsylvania.
  The station, as WAVL after a long history of religious radio broadcasting, became a secular broadcaster in December 2015 with a Variety Hits format. As of Monday, August 29, 2016, WAVL adopted a conservative talk format.
context_section_description: In August 2013, WAVL was under agreement to be  sold to Kittanning-based Family-Life Media-Com Inc., owner of WTYM and a low-power Christian-formatted television station, with the station being operated under an LMA until details of the sale could be finalized. Coincidentally, Family Life Media-Com President David Croyle, once worked for WAVL under Tri-Borough Broadcasting's ownership. The station's studios were returned to its transmitter facility following the LMA, but most business was conducted from Family Life's headquarters in Kittanning.
  The station was taken back to its roots of music and ministry since Family Life Media-Com's assumption of operations, with a mix of local and national shows plus featured live broadcasts from the Family Life Studios in Kittanning.
  As of July 31, 2015, control reverted to Evangel Heights Assembly of God Church due to both sides being unable to work out an amicable agreement on the sale of the station. The church elected to take WAVL silent for staffing reasons and filed a Special Temporary Authority application with the FCC allowing the station to remain silent for a six-month period. On Wednesday, December 30, 2015, it was reported and subsequently confirmed that WAVL was back on the air.
  The station operated under a lease agreement between Evangel Heights Assembly of God Church and the Colonial Radio Group (now known as Andrulonis Media) until the FCC approved the asset purchase agreement on Friday, April 29, 2016.
