WVOX is presently silent pending technical and programming changes to be implemented by Chang Media, who acquired WVOX in October 2023 in a three-way donation/sale transaction from its former locally-based owner, Whitney Media Group.[1] Under Whitney ownership, WVOX primarily aired locally-produced information and talk, including programs presented by local citizens and interest groups. The station was affiliated with Music of Your Life, which aired overnights, weekends, and in time slots not occupied by a local show. The station's coverage area includes most of Westchester County and adjoining portions of New York City, along with Nassau County on Long Island and northeastern New Jersey.
WVOX also operates an FM translator, W252DX (98.3 MHz), located in White Plains, New York.
