WLXV (96.7 FM, "Mix 96") is a radio station licensed to Cadillac, Michigan broadcasting a hot adult contemporary format.
The station, which began broadcasting on July 7, 1974, has previously programmed easy listening and adult contemporary music as WITW, beautiful music as WEZV, and CHR as WWLZ ("Lakes FM"). WWLZ was changed in 1994 to a simulcast of WLXT 96.3 FM in Petoskey, which continued until MacDonald-Garber Broadcasting, believing the Cadillac area needed its own music station (as opposed to simulcasts of stations from Traverse City or elsewhere), began the current "Mix" format.
A portion of the Mix 96 programming is derived from Dial Global Local's AC Active satellite format. Weekend programming includes American Top 40 - The 80's with Casey Kasem Sunday nights; Nina Blackwood's Absolutely 80's and Kid Kelly's Back Trax USA (both '80s and '90s versions) on Saturdays; and The Beacon with Austin Harris and Leeza Gibbons' Hollywood Confidential on Sunday mornings. Mix 96 also features an hour-long show dedicated to music by local artists, Thursday nights at 10 p.m.
