WMIX
[edit]Regarding the comment
For years, many (including the local press at times) mistakenly thought the calls were "WMIX"
this was a "mistake" they actively encouraged, referring to themselves on the air as "WMIX" as using as their phone number 410-481-9649 (WMIX). Sadly, I have no "citation" other than my memory.

What happened to Jo-Jo and Kenny?
[edit]I listened to them for years, and now suddenly Kenny has gone missing. Odd. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.136.15.130 (talk) 22:11, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not sure, but I think it was 2005 when he left the show and was replaced by Reagan as the co-host. I don't know what happened either, but considering he hasn't been mentioned since and his name has even been edited out of old wake-up calls, I'd say he didn't leave on the best of terms. It'd be nice if someone could figure out what happened there, as it would be worth it to add to the history section.-Jeff (talk) 01:56, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
""Updated - Originally it was a duo - Jo-Jo and Kenny, then Jo-Jo, Kenny, and Reagan for a few years. Then Kenny's contract was not renewed so December 31, 2005 was his last day. "He will be allowed to say goodbye, but I think that's all he'll get from General Manager Bob 'Scrooge' Phillips," a source tells us. http://www.dcrtv.com/mediaw2r.html ---- 71.254.221.8 (talk) 17:43, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
80s Weekend
[edit]I don't think they've done one in forever, it might be time to get rid of that fact.-Jeff (talk) 01:48, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
Should the List of Notable Personalities/ Shows/ Schedule be kept?
[edit]I say yes. NeutralHomer says no and keeps erasing them. What do the rest of you editors think? ---- Theaveng (talk) 04:21, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
- For reference WP:WPRS states "Include a detailed history of the station. In addition, when applicable, include a complete call sign history. (For stations in the United States, the FCC database can help provide call sign history for as far back as about 1980.) Per WP:NOTDIR, an article on a radio station generally should not list upcoming events, current promotions, phone numbers, current schedules, etc., although mention of major events, promotions, or historically significant program lists and schedules may be acceptable. You may add properly sourced, encyclopedic content describing a station's programming, but a simple list of a station's on-air staff should not be added. To a reader who isn't already familiar with the station, a plain airstaff list doesn't do anything to help them understand or get a feel for the topic. Describing a station's programming gives the reader a much better sense of the station, its personalities and its on-air style than a meaningless list of people they've never heard of." ---- Theaveng (talk) 04:48, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

- Per WP:WPRS, I would say no unless the personalities or programming can be shown to be of historical significance. Do the personalities meet the WP:BIO criteria? Is the programming groundbreaking or nationally recognized in a verifiable means by a third-party reliable source? --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 02:48, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
Proposed Edits From User With Conflict of Interest
[edit]As an employee of the station, I'm proposing an update to the section on its HD2 and HD3 subchannels, and leaving it to other users to make the actual edits. Here's my proposed update:
In 2006, WWMX's HD2 digital subchannel was launched as "Mix2" with a "New Top 40" format, while the HD3 subchannel was launched as an 1980s and 1990s Adult Hits format branded as "The Point." As the format of WWMX's main channel shifted towards more of a Top 40 format itself, "Mix2" transitioned to a rhythmic dance format, playing a mix of hit-driven rhythmic dance, hip hop and pop tracks and remixes. At noon on August 1, 2011, it was replaced with a Modern Rock format branded as "HFS at 97.5" [1] (which was rebroadcast on translator W248AO at 97.5 FM, and simulcasted on the HD2 subchannel of WIAD in Washington, D.C.).
