RADIOLEX is Lexington’s community radio, offering a platform for the city’s underrepresented voices. With stations broadcasting in English (WLXU 93.9 FM) and Spanish (WLXL 95.7 FM), we serve communities often overlooked by mainstream media—Black, Hispanic, Asian, Immigrant & Refugee, LGBTQ+, and others. Our mission is to provide hyper-local, multilingual content that informs, empowers, and engages our city.

At RADIOLEX, we believe that diverse media builds stronger, more informed communities. We offer 24/7 programming that highlights local community, politics, arts, and culture—ensuring Lexington’s many voices are heard and represented.

Our approach to media is guided by fundamental questions of diversity, inclusion, equity, and justice: Whose voices are heard? Who is being left out? And how can we create a media landscape where everyone’s story matters? In today’s world, where media shapes perceptions and drives change, RADIOLEX is doing more than broadcasting—we are building a future where everyone has a voice. We invite you to join us in sustaining and expanding this vital work by supporting RADIOLEX.

Together, we can ensure that Lexington’s diverse communities not only have a voice but that they are heard, understood, and celebrated.

RADIOLEX plays a vital public safety role, providing real-time information during emergencies in over 20 languages. Our partnerships with local organizations like the Lexington-Fayette Health Department and Emergency Management ensure that critical safety and health information reaches those who need it most, particularly during crises like the COVID-19 pandemic.

Media shapes how communities are seen and heard. In an industry dominated by a narrow demographic, RADIOLEX gives power back to the people. We focus on issues important to sll Lexington’s communities, such as economic inclusion, education, and healthcare access. By ensuring diverse local voices are part of the narrative, we help create a media landscape that reflects everyone’s reality.

Since 2015, RADIOLEX has been a platform for local debate, cultural expression, and community-building. Your sponsorship helps us continue this vital work—giving every voice in Lexington the opportunity to be heard.

Inclusion = Representation

RADIOLEX plays a critical role in making sure ALL the people in our community have a voice.

Market research shows racial and ethnic minorities, women, older Americans, and people with disabilities are underrepresented in the media.

FCC statistics indicate women and people of color hold less than 7% of all radio and television broadcast licenses.

Lack of information, misinformation, and disinformation pose serious threats to the safety of minority communities.

Political forces are actively working to silence their voices and erase their visibility.

Now more than ever, RADIOLEX is a vital, trusted resource created by and for the people.


RADIOLEX’s broadcast signal reaches over 250K homes in Fayette County. We have a loyal on-air and online audience of roughly 50,000.

RADIOLEX’s AUDIENCE is:

  • community-oriented
  • ethnically diverse & multi-lingual
  • educated & well informed
  • socially-minded
  • genxers & millenials
  • community organizers & advocates
  • politically active & engaged
  • committed supporters of local business, music, arts & culture
  • entrepreneurs & influencers

Gender Identity: Female 52%, Male 42%, Non-Binary/Other: 6%

Age: 0-24 5%, 25-34 10%, 35-44 10%, 45-54 30%, 55-64 25%, 65+ 20%

Race/Ethnicity: Asian/Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders 2%, Black/African American/African 31%, Hispanic/Latino/Latina/Latin 32%, Native American/American Indian/Indigenous 1%, White/Caucasian/European 32%, Multi-Racial 2%

Sexual Orientation: LGBT 15%, Non-LGBT 85%

Disability: Persons with a disability 10%, persons without a disability 90%

For RADIOLEX, vulnerability includes barriers to resources and participation in community life, including access to healthcare, food, affordable housing, economic opportunities, language access, and educational and civic opportunities. Vulnerability includes groups that are actively the focus of political and social hostility, which increases their risk of physical and mental harm. Vulnerability includes immigrants & refugees who are undocumented or otherwise stuck in the broken US immigration system. Vulnerability includes those suffering from chronic mental health, substance use, and other chronic diseases.

Collaboration is at the heart of community radio. 

During the COVID-19 crisis, RADIOLEX partnered with the Office of the Governor, the City of Lexington, the Lexington Dept. of Emergency Management, and the Lexington Fayette-County Health Department to communicate critical public health and safety information in more than 20 languages.

RADIOLEX also partnered with the US Census to help reach underserved populations. Fayette County had one of the highest response rates nationally.

RADIOLEX partners with an array of local non-profits to help amplify their work and raise awareness about important issues.

RADIOLEX also partners with community organizations to help raise awareness and address the needs of those who are vulnerable and marginalized in our community.

SIGNAL BOOST EVENT SPONSORSHIPS

Right now divisive, polarizing political and cultural battles are playing out on the national stage. How do they impact the life of our community? We’ve heard from folks feeling scared, overwhelmed, and folks who want to do something.

This September, RADIOLEX will host SIGNAL BOOST, a public conversation about amplifying local voices to empower change.

We invite you to come together with your customers, friends and neighbors to listen, learn, and share strategies on how to make a positive impact on our community and world by amplifying the influence of our voices. We’ll be joined by effective local changemakers, and we’ll provide real-world strategies for individuals to strengthen and grow their sphere of influence.

Whether immigration, the arts, human rights, or the environment–SIGNAL BOOST will help empower our community to act locally with far-reaching impact.

Event sponsorships are available separately or as an add-on to annual sponsorships. Please email us for more details.
