WTXK (1210 AM, "The Ticket") is a sports-formatted radio station licensed to Pike Road, Alabama, United States and serving nearby Montgomery. [5][6][7] The station, established in 1968, is currently owned and operated by Frontdoor Broadcasting, LLC as part of a duopoly with Contemporary Christian station WVRV (97.5 FM). Both stations share studios on Carmichael Way in eastern Montgomery, while its transmitter facilities are located between Montgomery and Pike Road.
WTXK serves as the flagship station of the Troy Trojans and as a local affiliate of NASCAR racing via Motor Racing Network and Performance Racing Network.[1][2][3] Programming includes syndicated programming from ESPN Radio.[5][6]
In addition to the 1210 AM frequency, WTXK also broadcasts its programming on translator W298BC (107.5 FM) licensed to Montgomery. That station broadcasts from a transmitter at the studios of local television stations WAKA-TV, WNCF, and WBMM along Harrison Road in Montgomery.
