History

WMXI signed on for the first time on April 10, 1989, with a soft adult contemporary format as "Max 98". In April 2001, the station changed its format to dance-leaning Top 40 as "98.1 The Hot FM" through an LMA with Millennium Communications of Sicklerville, NJ. When the LMA ended in September 2002, WMXI became "98X" with a format change to alternative rock. In October 2002, "Talk Radio 98.1 WMXI" debuted when the news/talk format of then-sister station WXHB was moved to WMXI. WXHB's format was changed to southern gospel and was then sold to Blakeney Communications, Inc.
WMXI moved to 107.1 MHz in January 2025 and increased its ERP from 1,000 to 1,500 watts.
