Press Release: WIXY1260Online Moves to Cleveland, Ohio (2/8/2018)

There's No Place Like Home

WIXY1260Online proudly to announces that, on February 3rd, it has moved its main studios to a larger, more modern facility that will serve their needs well into the future. The new home city of WIXY1260Online is Cleveland, Ohio - the same home city to the station's predecessor, WIXY 1260 AM. WIXY1260Online (and sister station WIXZ1360Online) are very proud of their new home and  will share photos with their fans soon. Stay tuned to the Gallery Page at WIXY1260Online.com for the photos.

A Heartfelt Thanks

A heartfelt thanks is given by WIXY1260Online Management to their wonderful staff - this 6+ year journey has been amazing and the move to the new, improved studios would not be possible without their incredible talent and dedication. Likewise, without awesome fans, the station wouldn't even be releasing news like this.

First and foremost, WIXY1260Online has always been, and always will be, about the music and making radio what it always should be - fun, free and non-pretentious. The Station is committed to not junking up the airwaves, social media and website with excessive advertising or irrelevant information.

Listeners have expressed an interest in hearing the station on an FM/AM band, but the reality of radio (and the costs associated with doing business) make terrestrial radio less feasible and realistic (as evidenced by the troubles unfolding for their large corporate counterparts). WIXY1260Online strives to provide more listening options than just a box that picks up one signal and drowns listeners with advertising for that privilege.  The Station is always happy to work with potential listeners at their live events, and through their Support Page, to get them the help needed to listen, wherever they go. At WIXY1260Online, The Future of Radio is Now!
