== History ==
On April 18, 1963, WIXI signed on for the first time as an independent station in Orlando, Florida. Because the network was independent, it had a tight budget in the 60's and 70's, and because of this, the network would not broadcast in color until 1971, as this would help cut costs. The network eventually went full color in 1975.
In 1985, the station was purchased by S.E.T. Broadcasting, and became an affiliate of the short lived Science & Adventure Channel. This would be their first and so far only affiliate. 
In 1991, S.E.T. decided not to renew WIXI as an affiliate of S&CC, and in 1992, WIXI returned to independent broadcasting, and it has remained that way ever since.
In 2006, 7Luck was founded as an owner for the channel. In 2010, WIXI started broadcasting in HD. The station celebrated 50 years in 2013.
== Old Theme Song ==
In 1978, WIXI introduced its own theme song. It was used normally until 2002. Even today, a ditto of the theme is played on the channels idents/bumpers.
