WMXI (107.1 FM, "News Talk 107-1") is a news/talk formatted radio station licensed to Ellisville, Mississippi, serving the Laurel-Hattiesburg Arbitron market.[2]
History
[edit]WMXI signed on in May 1989 with a soft adult contemporary format as "Max 98".[3][4] In April 2001, the station changed its format to dance-leaning Top 40 as "98.1 The Hot FM" through an LMA with Millennium Communications of Sicklerville, NJ.[5][6] When the LMA ended in September 2002, WMXI became "98X" with a format change to alternative rock.[7] In October 2002, "Talk Radio 98.1 WMXI" debuted when the news/talk format of then-sister station WXHB was moved to WMXI. WXHB was then sold to Blakeney Communications, Inc.[8]
WMXI moved to 107.1 MHz in January 2025 and increased its ERP from 1,000 to 1,500 watts.
