WXUR (92.7 FM, "92.7 The Drive") is a radio station broadcasting an album-oriented rock (AOR) format. Licensed to Herkimer, New York, USA, the station serves Utica, NY. The station is currently owned by Arjuna Broadcasting Corp. and features programing from Westwood One.

History

The station was first assigned the call sign WYUT-FM on March 2, 1986. On July 20, 1994 the station changed their call sign to the current WXUR.^[1] The station broadcast Oldies with Don Imus in the morning before switching to Active Rock and bringing in Bill Keeler handle mornings. The station, now known as The Drive, switched to Classic Hits then Adult Rock after Galaxy Communications which formerly owned WRCK (Rock 107) took over WOUR and shifted that station's programming to Syracuse. WXUR hired former WRCK (Rock 107) morning host Frank McBride to handle afternoons, returned the popular Bob & Tom Show (formerly on WOUR) to the market and also added former WOUR veterans Tom Starr, Rick Devoe and Alison to the line-up that already included market mainstay Jack Moran. Jerry Kraus, another market mainstay when WOUR was broadcasting from Utica, joined the station for weekends in 2012. After Frank McBride passed away unexpectedly, WXUR completed the migration down the dial of the WOUR airstaff by hiring 'Genesee' Joe Trisolino to take over the afternoon show and Dave Phoenix to host the weeknight 7pm to Midnight slot. Phoenix is also the station's senior Account Executive.
