So much WOXY history…

Honestly, I need to start some kind of WOXY archives site. I saved all of the official FM-era archives before the Austin offices were dismantled. I have a nice chunk of all of the weekly station playlists from 20+ years. They are not all in order and it would take a lot of scanning, but even if I did one page a day or something it could be interesting.

While I have a think on that, here is an interesting snapshot of the last few months of life at the FM-era ‘97X’. Even before we had found out that the station was going to be sold, we had been having conversations about making the playlists album-based again. That transition started to happen right at the beginning of 2004. The last few months on the FM dial in Southwestern Ohio were probably as adventurous as the station had been since the earliest days of the broadcast.

These ‘adds’ are listed from Heavy rotation down to Light (also 6P+, night-only rotation for the Thursday & Year Future). Keep in mind, at this point, WOXY was still a commercial FM…
