As of June 1999, the station has moved to a satellite fed "Music of Your Life" nostalgia format with the name "Uptown 1000".  ("I can no more explain this handle than 'The Monkey' in Gulfport" - Alex) The station didn't last long as Uptown 1000, it's now Dixie 1000, with country oldies and new calls - WDXZ.
