WXLO, better known as 104.5 XLO, is a Hot Adult Contemporary radio station that serves the Worcester, Massachusetts market, broadcasting on the FM band at a frequency of 104.5 MHz. The station is licensed in Fitchburg, Massachusetts to Citadel Broadcasting. The studio is located in downtown Worcester, Massachusetts, and its transmitter is located in Leominster, Massachusetts.
The call sign WXLO was chosen in 1984 by station management in tribute to the former New York station now known as WRKS-FM. In 1991, the call sign was briefly changed to WXLO-FM. The station has since been reassigned the WXLO call sign by the Federal Communications Commission on June 5, 1997.[1]
