WLOX-TV - The Stations for South Mississippi since 1962

When WLOX began broadcasting in the fall of 1962, our studios were located in the Buena Vista Hotel on the beach in Biloxi. The hotel is no longer there, but the site where it once stood is now home to MGM Park, the baseball stadium across from Beau Rivage Resort & Casino.

We broadcast local news and entertainment programs there until August, 1969. The previous month, Neil Armstrong had walked on the moon and the country was becoming more and more polarized on the Vietnam issue. The day the Woodstock Music Festival in New York was coming to an end, people here in South Mississippi were bracing for Hurricane Camille. That storm pretty much blew away everything and flooded everything else, including our Buena Vista studios. But WLOX stayed on the air as long as we could to warn people of the coming danger.

After Camille we moved to the Werlein Building on Jackson Street in downtown Biloxi. The building is still there to this day. In April, 1971 WLOX moved to its present location on DeBuys Road in Biloxi. That's where we withstood Hurricane Katrina in 2005. WLOX continued to broadcast throughout the storm, never going off the air, even after one of our broadcast towers fell into our building, and we lost the roof over our newsroom. Many employees lived at the station in the days after the storm to ensure our round the clock coverage to a battered Mississippi coast.

From its inception until 1995, WLOX was owned locally by the Love family. The leadership of the Love Family made WLOX the broadcasting machine it is today. In March of that year the family sold WLOX to the Liberty Corporation out of Greenville, South Carolina.
