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 (Top 40/CHR) format as "99.7 Kiss FM".

In January 2016, the station's sound evolved from the Top 40/CHR format by adding titles from the early 2000s and 1990s. It became an adult top 40, leaning toward rhythmic contemporary. To reflect the shift, WXAJ's slogan was changed from "All Of Today's Best Music" to "Springfield's #1 Best Hit Music Station".

On March 6, 2017, at 6 a.m, the station shifted to a Hot Adult Contemporary format, and re-adopted the earlier "99-7 The Mix" moniker. [4] It now promotes itself as the home for "The 90s, 2k & Today".
