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).

From September 2012 to December 2013, WMXO shifted to contemporary hit radio.
