Owner arrested

On July 19, 2007, WXMY fell silent and the WXMY website was taken offline.

On Wednesday, July 25, 2007, WXMY came back on the air and was being run by Wendy Raynor. The station is also now being listed as owned by Continental Media Group, LLC in the FCC database, previously it showed Jeffrey L. Raynor as owner.

According to the station's website (as of Sep 2, 2007), WXMY had fallen silent. Then in October 2007, WXMY returned to the airwaves with a Classic Country format.

FCC license issues

In February 2007, the station received permission for Pre Sunrise and Post Sunset operations, which allows a daytime-only AM station to operate at reduced power during the period shortly before sunrise and shortly after sunset when the FCC determines the station does not need to ceaso operations to protect other AM stations.

On April 30, 2007, Continental Media Group had applied with the FCC to increase power from 5kW to 23 kW (Daytime) and 11 watts at night. That application is still pending as of December 30, 2007..
