WAXO went on the air September 1, 1980. [2] The WAXO call letters were previously used by the present-day WWDV in Zion, Illinois, when it was located in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

WAXO radio and television carried a wide selection of local sports including Marshall County sports, Forrest High School sports, and Cornersville High School sports. The station is also an affiliate of the Tennessee Titans radio network. [3]

In March, 2016 WAXO (AM), FM translator W240CC and WAXO (TV) went off the air due to owners, Marshall County Radio Corporation, filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, as there were no funds to continue operations of the stations. Special temporary authority had been granted by the Federal Communications Commission to keep WAXO (AM) silent for up to one year. [4] After having been off the air for more than one year, WAXO (AM)'s license expired on March 25, 2017. [5] [6] The license of the 95.9 MHz translator W240CC was cancelled on June 7, 2017, for the same reason. [7]
