The call sign WXLO was chosen in 1984 by station management in tribute to the former New York station (which is now WEPN-FM). In 1991, the call sign was changed to WXLO-FM, when WFGL 960 briefly changed their call sign to WXLO. The station was reassigned the WXLO call sign by the Federal Communications Commission on June 5, 1997.

WXLO currently airs a "Hot AC" format, and is often the most listened-to adult radio station in the Worcester market. WXLO also has a substantial audience in the Boston Metro area, especially the area known as MetroWest.

Outside of the station's current Hot AC format, WXLO airs Specialty Programming, spotlighting the music of the 1980s with the Wayback Lunch, and the Awesome 80's Saturday Night. WXLO also spotlights that genre of music with an annual event known as the "Awesome 80's Prom". WXLO also hosts an annual Acoustic Christmas event at Mechanics Hall in Worcester that has featured artists such as Train, Guster, Lee Dewyze, Daughtry, Delta Rae, Stephen Page, Gavin DeGraw, and Andy Grammer.

On air personalities include; Jen Carter & Frank Foley in the Morning, Mary Knight, Rick Brackett, Chuck Perks, Diana "Lady D." Steele, and Lance Ballance.
