WMXO (101.5
History
WMXO has been broadcasting since November 1, 1978.[1] It has held its current call sign and format since 1990.
From September 2012 to December 2013, WMXO shifted to contemporary hit radio.[2]
Effective September 10, 2014, Sound Communications, LLC purchased WMXO and three sister stations out of bankruptcy for $275,000. A sale to Standard Media was slated to close in early 2020.[3] The sale collapsed and the station was instead sold to Seven Mountains Media, which had also bought the other two major commercial radio clusters in Cattaraugus County, effective June 1, 2021.
On December 10, 2021 Seven Mountains Media fired WMXO's airstaff and flipped the station to Christmas music, branded as "Christmas Radio 101.1/101.5" with the addition of translator W266BN 101.1 FM Olean; a rebrand, similar to what sister station
