WXMM, commonly referred to as 100.5 MAX-FM, is a radio station operating in southeastern Virginia which plays rock music. Its transmitter is located in Norfolk.

[edit] History

WXMM had been WCMS-FM with a country music format since they first came on the airwaves in 1962. The calls originally stood for "where country music swings" and the original slogan was "Western Country Music Station." The format shifted to Classic Country at 3PM on April 10, 2003.

After more than 40 years of country music, the format was dropped on November 28, 2003 around 11:30 PM for Mainstream Rock. The first song was AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long."

[edit] Ownership

Sold to Max Media from Barnstable Broadcasting in early 2005. The cluster (92.9/WFOG, 94.1/WXEZ, 97.3/WGH-FM, 100.5/WXMM, 1310/WCMS) went for $80M. A sixth station in the Barnstable cluster (1050/WVXX) was sold separately.
