History

WXXI-FM signed on December 23, 1974 from the new WXXI studios at 280 State Street in Rochester, with a transmitter located on Pinnacle Hill in Brighton, Monroe County, New York.

While its initial format was a mixture of classical music, folk music, jazz, news and talk, WXXI-FM became a predominantly classical station after the 1975 format change of WBFB 92.5 from classical to all-news. WBFB donated its classical music library to WXXI, and WBFB program director Simon Pontin soon joined WXXI-FM as its morning host.

On July 2, 1984, WXXI shifted most of its news programming, including "All Things Considered," to its new second service, WXXI (AM) 1370. With the exception of some weekend and evening specialty programming, WXXI-FM became a full-time classical music service.

In 2007, WXXI-FM added HD Radio service, offering a simulcast of WXXI (AM) on its HD2 channel and a third service of news and information on its HD3 channel.
