History

[edit]

The station signed on December 23, 1974, as WXXI-FM, the FMsister station to WXXI-TV. Its initial format was a mixture of classical music,folk music,jazz, news andtalk. WXXI-FM switched to mostly classical music after the 1975 format change ofWBFB (92.5 FM) from a commercial classical station toall-news radio. WBFB donated its classical music library to WXXI-FM, and WBFB program director Simon Pontin soon joined WXXI-FM as its morning host.

On July 2, 1984, WXXI-FM shifted most of its news programming, includingNPR'sMorning Edition andAll Things Considered, to its new second service,WXXI (1370 AM). With the exception of some weekend and evening specialty programming, WXXI-FM became a full-time classical music service.

In 2007, WXXI-FM began broadcasting usingHD Radio technology, offering a simulcast of WXXI on its HD2 channel and a third service of news and information on its HD3 channel.

On May 10, 2023, the station changed itscall sign to WXXO with theWXXI-FM call sign moving to the former WJZR (105.9 FM)[3] ahead of 105.9's relaunch as an FM simulcast of WXXI.[4] Despite the change, WXXO continues to brand as "WXXI Classical".[5]
