History

This station had been country music formatted WCMS during the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. In the late 1990s, the station used to simulcast with urban gospel WXEZ-FM 'Star 94.1' until April 2002. In April 2002, the station became easy listening "AM 1050 The Fog" WFOG. On November 25, 2003, WFOG dropped the standards format to simulcast classic country WCMS FM 100.5. Three days later, the simulcast ended when WCMS flipped to Mainstream Rock and the classic country format was kept on 1050. Because of an error, the WXMM calls were assigned to 1050 and the WCMS calls stayed on 100.5 until the calls were finally swapped on December 18, 2003. On May 1, 2004, the station flipped to FOX Sports Radio.

In November 2004, Barnstable Broadcasting sold the station to Davidson Media and later changed the calls to WVXX on December 6, 2004. FOX Sports Radio was dropped on February 9, 2005 in anticipation for a Spanish format known as "Selecta 1050".^[2] Due to technical problems with Verizon, WVXX simulcasted WFOG until "Selecta" was launched on February 26, 2005 at 2PM.^[2]
