WSMM/WSSM also played continuous Christmas music during the Christmas season. The station changed its call sign back to WZOW on December 19, 2013, and changed its callsign back to WSSM on June 11, 2014.
On October 10, 2016, the station switched to a classic rock format, branded as "Rock 97.7", and changed its callsign to WYXX.[3] It also picked up The Bob & Tom Show which had been dropped a week before by WQLQ when it switched to a top 40/CHR format.
