No, WIXY1260Online is not going anywhere, we just want to say goodbye to 2016 and goodbye to radio as you know it. At the end of every year, us humans habitually reflect, look forward and make plans. Here are some EASY resolutions you can make for a better 2017 and future:   1.) Ditch Terrestrial (AM/FM) Radio - why suffer through the same songs hour after hour and tons of commercials?
