WXER is a Hot AC FM radio station broadcasting on 104.5 MHz in Sheboygan County, Wisconsin, which is owned by Midwest Communications.
The station also has a translator station with the calls W241AG broadcasting at 96.1 FM from the tower site behind the Midwest studios in Sheboygan, which was launched in June 2006 due to ongoing interference problems with WBFM and WHBZ within the city on the 104.5 frequency, along with summer co-channel interference with Muskegon, Michigan's WSNX-FM across Lake Michigan.
In 2005, Mountain Dog sold the station to Midwest Communications while keeping ESPN Radio affiliate WCLB, which was restricted by a non-compete agreement until 2010.

WXER originally broadcast from studios with then co-owned WPLY (1420, now WGXI) on Highway 57 east of the city (which remains the home of WGXI, and formerly WSTM-FM until its sale in 2017), but in 1994 after WPLY was sold off, moved them to Falls Plaza, a small shopping center off Fond du Lac Avenue in Sheboygan Falls, which were shared by former sister station WCNZ/WCLB (950 AM).
