WZMX (93.7 FM), better known as "Hot 93.7" is an urban-leaning rhythmic contemporary radio station licensed to Hartford, Connecticut, in the United States.
With ARS's takeover came the change to a stunt with the local NOAA Weather Radio signal for a week before the launch of the new format: hot adult contemporary, as WZMX, chosen for the station's "Mix 93.7" format by program director Herb Crowe (formerly of KIIM-FM in Tucson) and midday personality Ron O.
Other DJs included WTIC-FM alums and husband/wife team Jonathan Monk and Diana Kelly in mornings, production coordinator Ron O (and later, Donna Rose) in middays, Neil Jackson in afternoons, Ted Dalaku in evenings, and Danny Wright in overnights.
The "Classic Hits" period produced a lot of creative programming, such as "Saturday specials" which followed a theme (i.e., all disco music, music of the '80s, management staff hosting shows), ran countdowns that at times featured hundreds of songs, and was the Connecticut home of New England Patriots football games and an overflow home of Hartford Whalers hockey games.
On March 16, 2001, at 5:00 p.m., WZMX flipped to an urban-leaning rhythmic format as "Hot 93.7", based on that of sister station WPGC-FM in Washington, D.C.
WZMX also has competition with WKSS and WPHH's sister station in New Haven, Top 40-formatted WKCI-FM, which has also seen its listener base erode slightly after Hot 93.7's debut.
