Greetings WIXY Family, We hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the summer months in ways maybe we haven't had to in our lifetimes.  As we all adjust to a new (hopefully not lengthy) normal, we have all had time to perhaps tackle those lingering home projects, clean out cabinets, organize the sock drawer, and maybe even practice your tech skills to learn the many different ways to tune into WIXY1260Online.  As we all sit wondering what will happen next, we continue to hope for the best and try to get on with life as we best know how...keeping contact with loved ones, making new memories and re-living those great ones of the WIXY golden era. STUDIO SHOWS STATUS Earlier this year we had to hunker down during the first lock-down from COVID and we all learned some valuable lessons on how to handle this and prepare ourselves should the need, God forbid, ever arise again.  After putting some of our DJs on hiatus while others worked remotely, we eventually welcomed back our...
