WCXS (1480 AM) is a commercial radio station in Arcadia, Florida with a classic country format. The station previously ran a slate of syndicated talk programing including Doug Stephan, Todd Starnes and Sean Hannity, as well as the shows of financial councilor Dave Ramsey and news/talk personality Tom Sullivan, and hourly news updates from CBS News Radio. Weekends featured a combination of news and do it yourself programming.

Historic WFLN
The call sign WFLN was originally assigned in 1949 to a Philadelphia FM radio station located at 95.7 MHz. The station operated primarily a classical music format. In 1956, WFLN (900 kHz) was started as a simulcast of the FM programming. WFLN was sold in 1985 and became WDVT. WFLN-FM continued operations until 1997 when it was sold, changed format and was renamed WXXM. As of 2020 the Philadelphia 95.7 MHz station is identified by the call sign WBEN-FM.
