WMXQ (93.5

Marion area and is currently owned by Woof Boom Radio Muncie License LLC.[1] The station is known as "93-5 MAX". In the evenings, WMXQ carries the nationally syndicated radio program Nights with Alice Cooper. WMXQ is an affiliate of the Indianapolis Colts
.

History

In 1965, the station was originally assigned the call letters WWHC. The call letters were changed to WWWO on January 16, 1986. On June 16, 1999, the station changed its call sign to WHTY.[2]

WMXQ (as WWWO with a rock format) began as a construction permit for a Hartford City FM station in the late 1960s but never came on the air initially due to the financial difficulties of the former WBMP in Elwood (now

WIKL
) which was to have founded that station, hence it remained dormant (and silent) until 1986.

On July 13, 2009, WHTY and WHTI changed call signs to WMXQ and WMQX, respectively, to go with their "MAX" branding.

On June 1, 2014, WMQX 96.7 broke away from the MAX simulcast for a country music format as "96.7 BLAKE FM". 93.5 continued on as "93.5 MAX".
