'''WMXP-LP''' is a [[LPFM|low-powered FM]] [[community radio]] [[radio station|station]] located in (and licensed to) [[Greenville, South Carolina]]. The station broadcasts on 95.5 FM with an [[effective radiated power|ERP]] of 100 watts. The station is silent as of July 16, 2023

==Station history==
WMXP-LP signed on the air June 10, 2007. The station is owned by the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement, founded by activist and attorney [[Efia Nwangaza]]. It was launched with the help of hundreds of local and national volunteers at the eleventh community radio barnraising of the [[Prometheus Radio Project]]. It is a non-commercial station, dedicated to [[African-American]] culture programming, claiming that it "will give a voice to the voiceless, and a home to knowledge, community enrichment and social justice advocacy."{{Citation needed|date=December 2020}}

According to the FCC database, WMXP-LP went silent on May 20, 2011. No official reason is known.

The station returned to the air on May 18, 2012 from a new transmitter site via FCC Special Temporary Authority (STA) for lower antenna height while new 120 foot tower is being constructed. Signal strength is strong in most of the city due to unique audio processing and temporarily monophonic signal.{{Citation needed|date=December 2020}}

On July 16, 2023, WMXP-LP went silent again due to [[WLTE]] (originally on 95.9 MHz) moving to 95.5 FM, and it is unknown if WMXP-LP will come back on a new frequency.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-07-14 |title=Earth-FM Completes Greenville Upgrade - RadioInsight |url=https://radioinsight.com/headlines/254704/earth-fm-completes-greenville-upgrade/ |access-date=2023-08-15 |language=en-US}}</ref>
