Hi
folks, I'm Archie Morgan, President & GM of Monroe
Broadcasting Co., Inc., 'The Mighty 1190'. I
was born in Marshville, grew up in Monroe and it
is an true honor for me to live and work in the
town I call home. I am married to Pam and we raised
two wonderful children here who are products of
the fine schools in Unionville.
After work in the restaurant industry
and also at Frito-Lay I began work in radio at WMAP
here in Monroe in 1988 with 'The Foxx' . We did
the morning show there and it was great fun doing
different characters and clowning around with Foxx
on the air. In 1990 we had the opportunity to purchase
WIXE and we did. Foxx taught me not only the technical
things I would need to know but he also taught me
the importance of local radio to its' community.
I learned things that seem to be missing now in
the syndicated and voice- tracked world of commercial
radio and that is that when you are on the air you
are talking directly to people. When you wish someone
a Happy Birthday or assist them with a lost dog
or comment about the passing of someone's loved
one, you are talking to them, directly. That isn't
done much in radio anymore by the sound of things
yet it is the philosophy that I learned and have
maintained. WIXE doesn't sound like most other stations
especially in the Charlotte market which we are
a part of and if we start too, please give me a
swift kick.
In 2000 Foxx wanted to semi-retire
therefore allowing me the opportunity to have 100%
ownership in WIXE with my wife Pam. We haven't looked
back, even when our tower fell and we had to rebuild.
A number of broadcast friends recommended then that
I move the station to Charlotte where I could make
more money. Never considered it. I'm home.
I learned a long time ago that
to be successful you surround yourself with successful
people and I have done just that. My staff is fantastic
and I would be lost without them. Each one of them
brings a wealth of talent to WIXE and I am honored
to have them in my employ.
We know you have a lot of choices
when it comes to your radio listening and we appreciate
the time you give us here at WIXE. We hear from
so many listeners that tell us they turn us on in
the morning and listen all day. That is special
and we Thank You! We also appreciate the way you
support our advertisers. In most cases we have used
that advertiser ourselves so when we talk about
a roofer, a Doctor, a restaurant, a plumber, we
are conveying our experience just like one of your
friends or neighbor would do. You've heard the expression,
"Word of mouth advertising is the best advertising".
We couldn't agree more and that is exactly what
we do. The only difference is that we have a microphone
and an antenna. Rest assured, if we say they have
good chicken, you can take it to the bank. Thank
you again for your listenership and support. If
I can help you in any way please don't hesitate
to call.

Roper I was born and raised in the great state
of Alabama and hold a degree in radio broadcasting
from the University of Alabama. I’ve lived in Union
County and worked at the Mighty 1190 WIXE since 2008.
I co-host the Breakfast Club Morning Show every weekday
morning from 7:30-10:00. I also serve as News/Sports
Director, Account Executive, and unofficial Production
Director at WIXE. Our station covers football for
all 11 high schools in Union County. It’s our privilege
to broadcast two Union County high school football
games every Friday night during the regular season
and post-season. Outside of the station, I enjoy working
out daily at the Monroe Aquatics and Fitness Center.
I’m a golf enthusiast and I try to get out and play
as much as possible on the great courses we have here
in Union County. I am a HUGE fan and supporter of
the University of Alabama having bled crimson my entire
life and graduated from The Capstone. I attend a local
congregation in Charlotte and I’m very grateful for
the support and encouragement that I’ve received over
the past few years from my fellow brothers and sisters.
If there’s any time left in the day, I try to play
or run with my dog Dixie, who’s basically the biggest
dog ever. I look forward to talking with you on the
Breakfast Club every morning, and join our facebook
page so you can keep up with what’s happening in Union
County

Easton Radio Advertising is the best thing you
can do to grow your business and to maintain the
business that you have. Call me and let’s talk.
I came to WIXE in 2002, but began my radio career
in Sumter, South Carolina in 1984…that’s 27 years
of sitting in front of business owners who need
help, need ideas and need results! I live here in
Monroe, near Downtown Monroe and fully support our
downtown.
You
can easily find me at The Art Walk in the spring
and fall, Music on Main and other festivals and
activities. I’m a proud Rotarian and belong to the
Monroe-Union Breakfast Rotary Club. My family lives
in Sumter and in Summerville, South Carolina and
I visit them often. My son Joel lives, works and
is working on a radiology degree in Columbia and
my son Kent lives and works here in Monroe. I have
the most precious, beautiful, smartest granddaughter
ever born. Remember the importance of YOUR local
radio station. We inform, educate, entertain and
during a crisis, it will be WIXE “The Mighty 1190”
that will hold Union County together as a community.
