WLXX (101.5 FM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Richmond, Kentucky, and serving the Lexington metropolitan area. The station is owned by Cumulus Media, and is silent. Beforehand, it had an adult hits format, supplied by the nationally syndicated "Jack FM" radio service.
WLXX's studios and offices are in the Kincaid Towers in Downtown Lexington. The transmitter is off Igo Road, near Interstate 75, in rural Madison County just south of the Kentucky River.
The station went on the air in 1972 as WCBR-FM, the FM sister station to WCBR in Richmond. It later had an oldies format as WMCQ-FM and classic hits and sports formats as WLRO. From 2007 to 2014, it simulcast the talk programming of WVLK as WVLK-FM. It then carried the "Nash Icon" country music format until 2018, when it joined "Jack FM"; the call sign changed to WLXX in 2020. Cumulus Media, which has owned the station since 1999, took WLXX silent in 2025.
