WAWX

WAWX (101.7 FM) is a radio station in Lynchburg, Virginia, United States. It transmits Air1, a national contemporary worship music network, to the Lynchburg area and is owned by the Educational Media Foundation.

This station began broadcasting as WDMS-FM, the FM counterpart to WDMS (1320 AM), on August 1, 1964. It became WJJS-FM in 1968 and, from then until 1986, broadcast an urban contemporary format. From 1986 to 1991, the WJJS format and call sign were moved to AM; on the FM, then known as WXYU, ownership programmed other formats—first contemporary hit radio and later country music—to increase revenue. WJJS moved back to FM in 1992 and two years later began being broadcast on 106.1 MHz at Vinton, Virginia, to reach the Roanoke area. The WJJS call sign moved to Vinton, and this station became WJJX.

The simulcast of WJJS and WJJX was broken up between 2007 and 2011, at a time when then-owner Clear Channel Communications was forced to put some of its stations in a divestiture trust. It was later restored as "Steve FM", an adult hits station programmed by Clear Channel, later known as iHeartMedia. This station was known as WSNZ between 2007 and 2019. In 2019, the two stations were sold out of the trust to the Educational Media Foundation and integrated into its national Christian music networks.
