The station was assigned the call letters WOHO on March 8, 1991. On October 22, 1993, the station changed its call sign to the current WVXG.[1] Throughout the 1990s and into the early 2000s, WVXG was owned by Xavier University and was a member of the "X-Star Radio Network," which featured a variety of programs, including news, talk, jazz, and adult standards.[4] This multi-state network was originally based at flagship WVXU in Cincinnati, even as WVXU had adopted a separate program schedule.[5][6]
One year before the sale of WVXU and the shutdown of the X-Star Radio Network, Xavier spun off WVXG to ICS Holdings, Inc. for around $385,000.[7] ICS Holdings entered a licensing agreement with the Christian Voice of Central Ohio, who broadcast a Contemporary Christian music format from 2004 through March 2008 as "95.1 The River," patterned directly after WCVO. Christian Voice of Central Ohio continues the format online and on Chillicothe, Ohio-licensed WZCP (also a former X-Star affiliate as WVXC).
After the lease agreement with the Christian Voice of Central Ohio ended on March 18, 2008,[8] ICS flipped WVXG to a satellite-based classic rock format.
ICS Holdings sold WVXG, along with WQTT and WDLR, to Delmar Communications, Inc. effective December 30, 2014. The price for the transaction was $250,000.
