WBXY is a commercial radio station in La Crosse, Florida, broadcasting to the Gainesville, Florida area on 99.5 FM. The station, which is stunting until a new format is announced, is owned by JVC Media and previously had broadcast a Dance Top 40 format billed as "Party 99.5," whose direction was patterned after its sister station in Long Island, New York, WPTY. Prior to the flip on June 1, 2013, it had programmed a News/Talk format as 99.5 The Star.[1] On December 26, 2013 WBXY and its Dance format moved over to WXJZ,[2] where they simulcasted until January 2014, when JVC announced the sale of the station to RMA Media, who will flip WBXY to a simulcast of WGMA, a new station that will sign on at 99.7 and serve the Ocala area.[3]
