WVXG (95.1FM, "Classic Rock 95X") is a radio stationlicensed to serveMount Gilead, Ohio, United States. The station is owned by Brent Casagrande, through licensee Delmar Communications, Inc., and serves the Mid-Ohio area. WVXG broadcasts aclassic rock music format.[3] The station is the local affiliate forThe Bob and Tom Show, while the majority of the programming comes from the satellite-fedThe Classic Rock Experience fromABC Radio Networks.
The station was assigned the call letters WOHO on March 8, 1991. On October 22, 1993, the station changed its call sign to the current WVXG.[1] Throughout the 1990s and into the early 2000s, WVXG was owned byXavier University and was a member of the "X-Star Radio Network," which featured a variety of programs, including news, talk, jazz, and adult standards.[4] This multi-state network was originally based at flagshipWVXU in Cincinnati, even as WVXU had adopted a separate program schedule.[5][6]
One year before the sale of WVXU and the shutdown of the X-Star Radio Network, Xavier spun off WVXG to ICS Holdings, Inc. for around $385,000.[7] ICS Holdings entered a licensing agreement with the Christian Voice of Central Ohio, who broadcast aContemporary Christian music format from 2004 through March 2008 as "95.1 The River," patterned directly afterWCVO. Christian Voice of Central Ohio continues the format online and onChillicothe, Ohio-licensedWZCP (also a former X-Star affiliate as WVXC).
After the lease agreement with the Christian Voice of Central Ohio ended on March 18, 2008,[8] ICS flipped WVXG to a satellite-based classic rock format.
ICS Holdings sold WVXG, along withWQTT andWDLR, to Delmar Communications, Inc. effective December 30, 2014. The price for the transaction was $250,000.
