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.

JJ 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

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.
