History

While it was still a construction permit, and before it was built, the station was granted the call sign WVZP on September 2, 1992. On October 1, the call letters were changed to WADQ (for "Adirondack").

The station signed on the air in January 1995. On September 16, 1996, the station took on the call sign WMEX. During this time, the station had a classical music format, with the slogan, "Where classic call letters mean great Classical Music."

In the late 1990s, WMEX gradually morphed into "Burlington's Album Station", adopting WCLX call sign on February 10, 1999, when owner Dennis Jackson relinquished the historic "WMEX" call letters to Boston's 1060 AM. The WMEX calls subsequently moved to New Hampshire and then to Martha's Vineyard; as of April 2017, the call letters are used by WMEX in Boston and WMEX-LP in Rochester, New Hampshire.

WCLX changed its call sign to WEXP on August 1, 2024, in a partial call swap with WEXP-LP in Moriah, New York.
