WROX Radio Station at 257 Delta Avenue in Clarksdale will be added to the Mississippi Blues Trail with its marker unveiling on Friday, April 16th at 12 noon. WROX-AM is the oldest radio station in Northwest Mississippi. WROX began operation on June 2, 1944, broadcasting from 321 Delta Avenue in downtown Clarksdale. In 1946, the station moved to 257 Delta Avenue, where it remained until 1953. That location now houses the WROX Museum.
