WQXM (1460 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Bartow in Central Florida. It airs a Spanish language Contemporary Hits radio format known as "Ritmo 99.9." It is owned by Aliuska Leiva Marti, through licensee DRC Broadcasting, Inc.[2]
By day, WQXM broadcasts at 10,000 watts, using a directional antenna.

The transmitter is on North Maple Avenue near Lyle Parkway in Bartow, Florida.[3] Programming is also heard on FM translator W260DA at 99.9 MHz.
WQXM programming is relayed on an FM translator, which gives listeners for the improved sound of FM stereo.
