WKDX (1250 AM) "The Spirit" is a radio station broadcasting a Gospel format.[1] Licensed to Hamlet, North Carolina, United States. The station is currently owned by The McLaurin Group.[2]

History

[edit]

WKDX was originally constructed and owned by Risden Allen Lyon of Wadesboro, North Carolina. The station was constructed in 1956.[citation needed]

Lyon sold the station to Peace Valley Baptist Church effective July 31, 1991.[3] In 1992 the Lyon family sued Peace Valley Baptist Church and several individuals involved with the transaction for non-payment, and regained ownership.

In 2000 the Lyon family sold WKDX to the McLaurin Group.
