History
The frequency first went on the air in 1991 and has been owned by Clear Channel Media + Entertainment, among other companies. It is now owned by Neuhoff Communications "Media Made Locally".
From 2002 to March 5, 2017, the station aired a Contemporary hit radio format as "99.7 Kiss FM".
In January 2016, the station's sound evolved from the Top 40/CHR format by adding more classic hits, adding most songs recorded before 2010 while keeping established CHR artists such as The Chainsmokers, Maroon 5 and DNCE. With that, the format shifted from CHR to an adult hits-leaning rhythmic contemporary format. To reflect the shift, WXAJ's slogan was changed from "All Of Today's Best Music" to "Springfield's #1 Best Hit Music Station". It now promotes itself as the home for "90's - 2k & Today".
On March 6, 2017, at 6 a.m, the station flipped to a Hot AC format, and re-adopted the old "99-7 The Mix" moniker.[3]
