The station was assigned the call sign "WMIX" by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).[2]
Withers Broadcasting registered the "WMIX" branding as a registered trademark,[3] which prevents other stations, many of them carrying some sort of Mix FM format, from using WMIX as a branding without permission.
WMIX broadcasts a news/talk radio format branded "News Talk 940" plus adult standards music in the evening and overnight.[4] As of January 2012[update], local programming includes a morning drive program hosted by Jeff Rollins and Carl Hampton in mid-days. Syndicated programming includes The Rush Limbaugh Show, Jim Bohannon, plus adult standards music blocks hosted by Chick Watkins and Don Reid from Dial Global's "America's Best Music" radio network.[5]
WMIX programming is also carried on two broadcast translator stations to extend or improve the coverage area of the station.
