Programming
WALX airs The Rick and Bubba Show Sunday-Friday mornings, Getting Outdoors with Big Daddy Lawler Saturday mornings, Todd Prater on mid-days, and The Paul Finebaum Network each weekday afternoon. On March 23, 2009, the station flipped from Top 40-oriented "Lazer 101" to a classic hits format branded as "ALEX-FM".[3]
In addition to its usual music programming, WALX formerly broadcast the high school football games of Montgomery, Alabama's Saint James School starting with the 2008 season.[4][5] These games had previously aired on WACV (1170 AM).[4]
