 On October 9, 2017, after two months of silence, WJXN returned to the air with a classic hip-hop format, billing itself as "Hot 100.9".During this three month tenure, the station utilized national programming from Westwood One's Classic Hip-Hop presentation.On January 5, 2018, (after nearly three months of being "Hot"), WJXN was rebranded as "G100.9", this time under a LMA deal with Alpha Media, which in turn replaced the Westwood One programming with Alpha's in-house presentation, thus putting it in line with Alpha's "G" branded stations.
