For the former New York City market station, see
WRKS-FM.
WXLO (104.5 FM; "104.5 XLO") is a Hot Adult Contemporary radio station that serves the Worcester, Massachusetts market, broadcasting on the FM band at a frequency of 104.5 MHz. The station is licensed in Fitchburg, Massachusetts to Cumulus Media. The studio is located in downtown Worcester, Massachusetts, and its transmission tower is located in the Leominster State Forest in Leominster, Massachusetts.[2]
The call sign WXLO was chosen in 1984 by station management in tribute to the former New York station now known as WRKS-FM.[citation needed] In 1991, the call sign was changed to WXLO-FM, when WFGL 960 briefly changed their call sign to WXLO[3]. The station was reassigned the WXLO call sign by the Federal Communications Commission on June 5, 1997.[1]
WXLO formerly aired Dick Clark's U.S. Music Survey, a top-20 adult contemporary countdown. It aired throughout the '90s until 2001, when it was replaced with Rick Dees' Weekly Top 40.[citation needed] Airbound, a Citadel Communications-owned new music program hosted by Tony Bristol, also aired in the 2000s, but was canceled in 2007.[citation needed]
