WXMM, commonly referred to as 100.5 MAX-FM, is a radio station operating in southeastern Virginia which plays rock music. Its transmitter is located in Norfolk.
[edit] History
Sold to Max Media from Barnstable Broadcasting in early 2005. The cluster (92.9/WFOG, 94.1/WXEZ, 97.3/WGH, 100.5/WXMM, 1310/WCMS) went for $80M. A sixth station in the Barnstable cluster (1050/WVXX) was sold separately. After more than 40 years of country music, the format was dropped on November 28, 2003 around 11:30PM for Mainstream Rock. The first song was AC/DC's "Shook Me All Night Long." Previously, shifted to Classic Country at 3PM on April 10, 2003. WCMS-FM had been country formatted since they first came on the airwaves in 1962. The calls originally stood for "where country music swings." However, we hear that the original slogan was "Western Country Music Station."
