WOMX-FM (105.1 FM, "Mix 105.1") is a radio station located in the Orlando, Florida, area.

[edit] History

WOMX was owned by Rounsaville Radio in 1973, was sold to Nationwide Communications in 1982, then Omni American and then again to Shamrock Broadcasting in 1996 then to Cox Broadcasting in 1998, then to Infinity Radio (CBS) in 2000.

The station began broadcasting as WOMX on September 14, 1989 after a 16 year run as Top 40 BJ 105, (WBJW). The station changed to WOMX (formerly the call letters for a coast guard ship based in Biloxi, MS) due to declining ratings an a growing adult radio market. Initially, "Mix 105.1"'s format was characterized as "Adult Top 40", but was quickly modified to a slightly more mature "Hot Adult Contemporary" sound, with a greater emphasis on hits from the past.

The station signed on with Mike Elliot and Beth Ann Schaffer in mornings, Tracey Young, Middays, Dave Kelly in Afternoons, and Nick Sanders at night. The overnights were held by Keith Summers. The station was first programmed by Brian Thomas.

[edit] Programming

WOMX 105.1 plays the "Best Mix of the 80s, 90s and Today," though the station programming focuses mostly on rock and modern rock music from the 1990s and 2000s.

Every Friday evening, Mix 105.1 presents Friday Night 80's. The "Saturday Night Party MIX" airs every Saturday night. The "Saturday Night Party MIX" replaced the Orlando heritage show "Seventies Saturday Night" in 2005.

As of 2008, the on-air personalities include the Scott and Erica Morning Show, Dana Taylor, Bobby Smith (former program director of WOCL-FM), Laura Francis, and Lizzette Perez overnight. Former drive-guy Jeff Cushman was taken off the air to be full-time program director of MIX and sister-station Sunny 105.9.
