Smooth jazz
For many years, WREO broadcast an easy listening format. It moved with the trends of "office-safe" stations beginning in the early 1990s, converting to Smooth jazz in the early 90s, adult contemporary in the spring of 1992, then switching to Hot AC in summer 2013. During the AC era it branded as "Star 97.1", then switched to their current "Mix 97.1" moniker upon the Hot AC switch. Through it all, the heritage WREO-FM calls have been retained.
