Newsletter 12/29/2023: Dead Christmas Trees

Hello WIXY Fans,

We hope your holiday season has gone well and you are all ready to ring in the new year.  Here at the Larry Morrow Studios (recently dedicated to the legend himself) we've seen another year fly by.  We're happy to report 2023 was a great year again for the station as our listenership continues its steady upward climb and our fans continue to increase in number.  Sadly, the pretty decorations that come with the holidays are beginning to come down and it won't be long before you see a bunch of dead Christmas trees on the curb.  Our own Santa (The Old TyeDye Guy) has taken the sleigh south to Florida until early Spring, and he took his studio decorations with him :-( we miss him already.  Not to fear though, Victor Tango will keep his seat warm (and our Thursday 10-2 slot going) until he gets back.

Remember to follow us on Facebook, or right on our website at wixy1260online.com - your one-stop shop for all things WIXY.  While we've been quiet as far as events go as of late, we're resting up and catching our collective breaths as we get ready for another year of fun events across Northeast Ohio, including the 2024 IX Piston Powered Auto-Rama (more details soon!)

We're pretty nostalgic at WIXY1260Online, (the best music still reigns supreme right here with us), but we're kinda sad to see all the holiday music and festivities go.  However, we know 2024 has a lot more fun in store, so stay tuned, stay healthy, and keep spreading the good word of WIXY.

Much WIXY love and wishes for a Happy New Year ahead!

Newsletter 2/20/2023: Is it Spring Yet?

Greetings WIXY Faithful,

It's been a little while since we last checked in on y'all - we hope your New Year is off to a great start.  Things at the station have been relatively calm, if that's a word we can use :-) ~~  But we're starting to get the itch to pull out the WIXY Mobile Studio and get rolling again around Northeast Ohio.  While we curse that groundhog who condemned us to 6 more weeks of winter, we've been working on our setup plans for this year's happenings.  Check out what we've got so far...

HAPPENINGS

• 3/31/23 to 4/2/23: IX Piston Powered Auto Rama
• 5/12/23: Suds Maguire's

There is a lot more to come, so keep your ears open and eyes peeled and tune-in to the station, and keep watching your mailbox and our Facebook page... and remember to TELL YOUR FRIENDS!

SUPERWOMAN NEWS

We are thrilled to welcome back WIXY Alum, Lisa Jordan!  As many of you may remember, Lisa was WIXY's first female DJ and she is making her triumphant return to the airwaves on Saturdays starting this Spring (as her availability permits).  Lisa is a doting grandma who never lost that hip rock & roll rhythm, and we couldn't be more happy to welcome her back to the family. Stay tuned to the Happenings Section of our website or our Facebook page for updates to when she will be on the air.  She'll also be at this year's IX Piston Powered Auto Rama, so be sure to stop by and say hi!

 

SPONSOR LOVE

 

With the help and guidance from our super-awesome friends at Euclid Beach Park Now, WIXY1260Online is now a registered non-profit organization.  Our mission is to preserve this great music and all the memories of the golden WIXY Era.  Because of this, you or your organization can become a sponsor with your tax-deductible donations.  Your support makes sure our mission goes on.  At WIXY1260Online, we've always been about the music and not corporate profits.  There is enough greed in the media and, since the beginning, we've dared to be different.  Contact our dedicated sales staff today by completing our Contact Form, or call our Business Line at 440-882-3050 today.

 

 

So, until the last snowflake has fallen (although we've been mostly lucky this Winter with an unusually light snowfall amount), keep warm, and KEEP ON ROCKIN' WITH WIXY1260Online!! 

 

Peace, Love & Rock 'n Roll!
