WLXE broadcasts music programming in the Spanish language. Its transmitter and antenna array are located off Frederick Road-Maryland Highway 355, just south of the border with Gaithersburg, Maryland.

During the 1960s, the station carried the call letters WINX and broadcast a Top-40 format. It was located on Baltimore Road off Church Street near the intersection of Veirs Mill Road and Rockville Pike. It was consistently the third-ranked Top 40 station in the ratings, following WPGC and WEAM. The station shifted to an oldies format in the 1990s (simulcast on FM 94.3 Warrenton), then followed by a short stint as top-40 again around 1998 in the FM dominated market. Sold to Mega then Multicultural, they converted to Spanish-language programming.
