WMWX primarily serves western parts of Greater Cincinnati, but also extends its signal by using one full-power repeater. Licensed to Waynesville, Ohio, repeater WYNS (89.1 FM) provides coverage to Warren County, Ohio.

On April 19, 2019, WMWX and its repeater stations dropped the "ClassX" classic rock format and began stunting and launched a Christian classic hits format two days later, branded as "Touch FM". and on November 1, 2019, dropped TouchFM and returned ClassX Radio's format.[1]

History

WMWX signed on the air with 5,000 watts on August 6, 2006. WMWX aired an Album Rock format. In 2011, WMWX expanded its broadcasting signal to simulcasting on 89.1 FM (WKCX) in Cincinnati as well as 89.1 FM (WYNS) in Waynesville, Ohio.[2][3]

Current "ClassX" programming

WMWX used an all-volunteer staff with live on-air disc jockeys. Until April 19, 2019 the station aired a variety of classic rock, including heavy metal, psychedelic rock, blues, progressive rock, garage rock, and hair metal, as well as specialty shows featuring The Beatles (Beatles-a-Rama) and Pink Floyd (Floydian Slip).[4][5]

Other notes

The call sign WMWX was previously used for Philadelphia's Mix 95.7 station, now broadcasting as WBEN-FM.

gollark: I wonder how much eldritch horror would be necessary in order to make the FM radio hardware in my phone work on this custom ROM.
gollark: Yes, good ones are antimemetic/nonexistent.
gollark: That never happens, unless it does but that's a lie.
gollark: Nonexistent.
gollark: Theory: any sufficiently complex configuration system ends up implementing its own poorly designed programming language.
