WIXY had three reunions in the 1980s and one in the 1990s, sponsored by WMJI-Majic 105.7, Cleveland's Oldies Station - who, at that time, was using the old WIXY studios at 3940 Euclid Avenue in Cleveland.  Many former WIXY DJ's flew in from all over to attend these events, which were documented on audio (1987 and 1997) and video (1988 and 1997).
