WXMS (FM)
WXMS is a radio station licensed to Au Sable, New York. The station is owned by Radioactive, LLC.
On June 23, 2015, station owner Radioactive, LLC filed a request with the FCC for Special Temporary Authority for the then-WZXP to remain silent, stating that the station went off the air on June 19, 2015 due to the loss of its programming source. The request was granted by the FCC on July 9.
As of July 15, 2015, musicheads.us programmers Russ Kinsley and Diane Desmond are still producing their "Album Station" classic album rock format online and have noted on their website that the format can no longer be heard on 97.9 FM.
On July 12, 2016, WZXP returned to the air with a classic country format as "97.9 The Moose".
The call letters were changed to WLUP on March 19, 2018. The WLUP and WLUP-FM call signs were formerly used by Chicago radio station WCKL prior to its 2018 sale to the Educational Media Foundation by Merlin Media; that company's CEO, Randy Michaels, owns Radioactive, LLC. On April 3, 2018, Cumulus Media announced its acquisition of the WLUP call sign from Merlin Media as part of its purchase of another Chicago station, WKQX, with the intent of moving the call sign to a Cumulus-owned station; in June 2018, Cumulus applied to move the WLUP call letters to suburban Minneapolis, with the Au Sable station assuming new WXMS call letters. The change took effect on June 12, 2018.
