History

The station went on the air as WAVX in November 2004, a contemporary Christian music station owned by Christian Ministries.[4] WAVX was sold to Vermont Public Radio in 2007[5] to fund upgrades at sister station WGLY-FM (the "Wave" format would subsequently move to a HD Radio subchannel of WGLY).[1] Christian Ministries ended its operation of the station on August 29, with VPR relaunching the station as the flagship station of VPR Classical two days later.[1] The callsign was changed to WOXR, a homage to WQXR-FM in New York City,[1] on September 26.[6]
