KXXO (96.1 FM, "X96.1") is a radio station licensed to Olympia, Washington. Owned by 3 Cities, Inc. and operated by Bustos Media under a transitional local marketing agreement, it broadcasts a Latin pop and adult contemporary format serving the South Puget Sound region of Washington, including Tacoma.
After a week of signal testing and stunting with nature sounds, the station officially signed on at 7 a.m. on January 16, 1990, with an adult contemporary format as "Mixx 96.1." The station was owned by Dave Rauh and Toni Holm (formerly of KAOS), doing business as 3 Cities, Inc.. [2] [3] [4]
In August 2025, 3 Cities announced that it would sell the station to Bustos Media for $1.5 million. The purchase made KXXO the company's fifth station in the Seattle-Tacoma market. [5]
On October 27, 2025, Bustos Media took over operations of the station, and flipped it to a predominantly-Spanish language format branded as X96.1; the new format features a mix of Latin pop and English-language adult contemporary music. [6]
