relocation On July 16, 2009, the WOXY staff formally announced that the station's broadcast facilities would be relocated to Austin, Texas. Reasons cited include increased access to artists for live Lounge Act sessions and proximity to the thriving Austin music scene, including the SXSW festival. The station move FAQ has indicated that the formatting and live DJ lineup will remain the same. The station will continue broadcasting on the air in Cincinnati via WVXU 91.7 FM on the HD-2 sideband channel. Shutdown At approximately 9:13 CDT on March 23, 2010 WOXY.com stopped streaming audio, and posted the following on their main page: WOXY Listeners, Fans and Friends... Due to current economic realities and the lack of ongoing funding for WOXY's operations, we've been forced to suspend our live broadcasts as of March 23. We're continuing to explore options to keep The Future of Rock and Roll alive. For business inquiries, please contact Bryan Jay or John at Future Sounds. Thanks for your years of dedicated support. - Mike, Shiv, Joe, Paige, Brian and Bryan Jay The song playing when they halted streaming was "Answer to Yourself" by The Soft Pack.
