Because of its extremely low power, the radio station did not need a license from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or receive official call letters.

Among the more national notables, staff at WEXP live have also interviewed the members of Leftover Salmon, Rockapella, Killswitch Engage, Cipher and StereoTytans, among others, to promote each of their respective Philadelphia tour stops in the region.

During that time period, WEXP also received a significant contribution from the student activity fund to renovate the station, install all new soundboard equipment, and invest in portable telephonic access.

In order to build on the success of the rebranding as an internet-only station, WEXP finally abandoned all investment in its very dated "carrier current" technology (530 AM) which had been until then limited anyway to just a few of the oldest dorms on campus, or "CAJH" as they were then known (St. Cassian, St. Albert, St. Jerome, St. Hilary).

WEXP's internet accessibility made continued strides by becoming compatible with the TuneIn app to address the sudden cultural shift on college campuses from portable laptops over to tablet computers and smartphones which by then already had been occurring rapidly.

In thus manner, WEXP La Salle Radio had its first broadcast reach a passenger airplane in 2005 via cabin wifi, according to reports on Twitter at the time.

In the interim, WEXP also increased its advertising by showing the daily broadcast schedule on the students' mylasalle portal, attempting to expand impressions to anyone on campus by every means possible.

The award was also split with Merrill Reese and Mike Quick of Free FM (WYSP) for their coverage of the Philadelphia Eagles American football team.

Subsequent to 2005, after many years of petitioning, WEXP was finally allowed to temporarily return to the airwaves, boosting its OTA signal strength to the entire campus and broader surrounding community.

The schedule ran for 12 hours on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., then aired reruns of the same day's shows overnights from 10 p.m. to 10 a.m. On weekends, the station played a commercial free music soundboard with rock/pop and R&B influences, with intermittent late breaking news and live sports updates cutting in on some occasions.
