📖 About

Talk 1200 (WXKS 1200 AM) is a prominent commercial conservative talk radio station licensed to Newton, Massachusetts, and serving the Greater Boston metropolitan area. Originally signing on the air on April 21, 1947, as WKOX in Framingham before shifting frequencies, formats, and call signs over the decades, the station transitioned into its current news and talk identity under the ownership of iHeartMedia. Operating with a robust 50,000-watt signal from its transmitter site in Newton, the station covers the New England region with powerful clarity during daylight hours. The station's programming lineup targets conservative and news-oriented listeners in New England, featuring high-profile nationally syndicated talk radio heavyweights such as The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin, alongside local thought-provoking commentary like The Jim Polito Show. In addition to its daily talk programs, Talk 1200 serves as the official Boston affiliate for Fox News Radio, providing up-to-the-minute hourly news briefings, headlines, and national updates. As part of iHeartMedia's extensive Boston cluster, WXKS shares structural and digital resources with other legendary local signals, broadcasting its feed online via the iHeartRadio platform to reach listeners across mobile devices, smart speakers, and web browsers. Over the years, the station has undergone various format evolutions—including stints as a daytime independent, country outlet, progressive talk affiliate, comedy channel, and business news provider—before firmly establishing itself as Boston's premier destination for conservative political talk and current events commentary.
