From September 2012 to December 2013, WMXO shifted to contemporary hit radio.

Effective September 10, 2014, Sound Communications, LLC purchased WMXO and three sister stations out of bankruptcy for $275,000. A sale to Standard Media was slated to close in early 2020.[4] The sale collapsed and the station was instead sold to Seven Mountains Media, which had also bought the other two major commercial radio clusters in Cattaraugus County, in July 2021.

On December 10, 2021 WMXO began stunting with Christmas music, branded as "Christmas Radio 101.1/101.5" with the addition of translator W266BN 101.1 FM Olean; a rebrand, similar to what sister station WQRS underwent the previous month, will be unveiled after the stunt ends.[5]
