The others are WAXZ Georgetown, also on 97.7, and WAOL Ripley on 99.5. WAXZ was formerly a country station, and WAOL classic country, mostly targeting Brown County and nearby areas. WOXY's history is fairly well known.
First is programming them until they get finished moving the WAXZ and WOXY towers around, then they will likely sell all three stations. They are a "radio investment bank" who exists solely to make money from move-in and resale of stations, so the "Max" format is mainly something to park on the signals until they can be resold.
