WJXB-FM (97.5 MHz, "B97.5") is a radio station licensed to serve Knoxville, Tennessee, United States. The station is owned by Midwest Communications, through licensee Midwest Communications, Inc. The studios and offices are on Sharp's Ridge Memorial Park Drive in North Knoxville, where its transmitter is also located.
WJXB-FM broadcasts an adult contemporary music format.[3] The station was formerly a beautiful music station known as WEZK. The station was assigned the WJXB-FM call sign by the Federal Communications Commission on January 21, 2002.[1] This was to tie into the success of its long-time sister station in Nashville, WJXA (92.9), which was a similar easy listening station in its early years switching to adult contemporary, and like WJXB, has long lead the market in listenership and is similarly-operated.
It was announced on May 28, 2014, that Midwest Communications would purchase nine of the ten Stations owned by South Central Communications, including WJXB-FM. With this purchase, Midwest Communications expanded its portfolio of stations to Evansville, Knoxville and Nashville.[4] The sale was finalized on September 2, 2014, at a price of $72 million.[5]

Translators
WJXB-FM programming is also carried on an additional broadcast translator station, which due to the area's topography, is used to provide a better signal to listeners and tourists in Sevier County at the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
