WTSS

WTSS has an adult contemporary radio format, switching to Christmas music for much of November and December.

It is owned by Townsquare Media and has its radio studios in the Rand Building on Lafayette Square in downtown Buffalo.

It spent many years as a beautiful music/easy listening station, playing quarter hour sweeps of soft, instrumental cover versions of popular songs.

Also in 2006, WJYE, along with its Buffalo sister stations, were sold to Regent Broadcasting, which was later renamed Townsquare Media.

The format itself did not change from that of recent years, although it stopped playing Christmas music up until the 2018 winter season.

The format shifted to a softer-leaning AC, based on the success of the original KISQ "98.1 The Breeze" in San Francisco.

It also brought back Joe Chille, the station's previous morning host from that era, after he was at WECK for a short time.

[4] WKQW-FM in Oil City, Pennsylvania picked up the Mix 96 brand and logo almost immediately after WMSX abandoned it; in 2022, it moved exclusively online under the ownership of WXMT.

In April 2023, rival Buffalo station "Star 102.5" WTSS, owned by Audacy, Inc., was sold to the Educational Media Foundation, a Christian radio company; the new owners planned to flip to Christian Contemporary music as part of the K-Love network.

Star 102.5's format was shifted after the sale to 107.7 WLKK's HD2 subchannel and continues to stream on the Audacy app.
