WIXY1260Online

Dearest WIXY1260Online Friends, On behalf of the entire WIXY1260Online Family, I'd like to invite you to join us as we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of iconic Cleveland radio legend station, WIXY 1260 AM . I have spent the past 4+ years developing a station that brings back the memories of the station many of us grew up listening to and falling in love with. While there have been some bumps along the way, and bound to be more, I am proud to report that we have experienced tremendous growth and success, thanks largely to you the listeners and to a team of professionals I am proud to call my friends here at the station. As a happy coincidence, it has been a great and unexpected pleasure that the station has grown to include over 22,000 listeners all over the world and nearly 6,000 fans on Facebook - certainly not what I expected when I started streaming the station on a rainy day instead of my originally planned camping trip!  Another happy coincidence (or unhappy if you...

This year, WIXY 1260 celebrates TWO anniversaries! On December 12th, the original WIXY1260-AM was born in 1965....50 years ago! And October celebrates 4 years that its successor, WIXY1260Online, was born! In October of 2011, Gary Schmitz and Ray Glasser began the online station on Live 365, moved it to Loudcaster, then ultimately went with CentovaCast where it currently is. Both Gary and Ray had no idea if it would even last 6 months, or if anyone would even care.....but here we are, 4 years later, with a team of about 15 people, a customized home studio, TWO remote studios, and world-wide acceptance and popularity! Beginning in December, 2015, WIXY1260Online will be celebrating the colorful memories and rich history of WIXY 1260, which was launched in December 1965, with some special public events, special prizes, a special 50th Anniversary mouse-pad (now available on the WIXY1260Online Merchandise page), a special 50th anniversary countdown show and recordings from both original ...

Give a warm WIXY welcome to our newest member and only female DJ, Gretchen Holly! A graduate of broadcasting school and an on-air talent and board operator for WLKR/K96 (Milan, Ohio), Gretchen's love for the music of the WIXY era (60's and 70's) really shows through in her knowledge and delivery. This young lady has a voice and level of professionalism that rivals that of those twice her age and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have her on our team! Check Gretchen out every Wednesday from 3-7 PM beginning Sept. 30th (2015)! ARCHIVED 4/8/2019
