WMXO is a radio station licensed to and located in Olean, NY. The station broadcasts at 101.5 MHz and plays a hot adult contemporary format. The station is currently owned by Sound Communications, LLC.[1][2] WMXO has been broadcasting since November 1, 1978.[3]
Local hosts on Mix 101.5 include Chris Russell, Cindy Scott, Jen Austin, Lucas Jackson, Colin Edwards, and Alan Kabel. Local specialty programming on the station includes "The Morning Mix with Chris Russell" weekdays from 6 to 10 am, The Retro Lunch Hour, an all-90's (and same 80's) music hour on weekdays between noon and 1 PM, hosted by Jen Austin and the All-Request Drive At Five held weeknights between 5 and 6 PM, hosted by Cindy Scott.

WMXO is an affiliate station of the Buffalo Sabres Radio Network. The Sabres broadcasts were previously featured on sister station WOEN, but the broadcasts were moved to WMXO due to a stronger nighttime signal and larger coverage area (WOEN no longer originates any local programming). WMXO also carried the St. Bonaventure Bonnies women's basketball team's radio broadcasts as of the 2013-14 season before the team abruptly changed its flagship to WGWE for the postseason; WMXO lost a bidding war with WGWE for the rights to the 2014-15 season.
From September 2012 to December 2013, WMXO shifted to contemporary hit radio.[1] The sale of Pembrook Pines to Sound Communications prompted new ownership to tone down the format and shift back to its longtime Hot AC format.[2]
