History

On April 7, 2011, WZOW changed its call letters to WSSM and changed its format from classic rock to oldies, branded as "The Stream". Programming on WSMM/WSSM came from Westwood One Local's Classic Hits/Pop format.

WSMM/WSSM also played continuous Christmas music during the Christmas season. The station changed its call sign back to WZOW on December 19, 2013, and changed its callsign back to WSSM on June 11, 2014.

On October 10, 2016, the station switched to a classic rock format, branded as "Rock 97.7", and changed its callsign to WYXX.[3] It also picked up The Bob & Tom Show which had been dropped a week before by WQLQ when it switched to a CHR format.
