Early years
WMXR's origins can be traced back to 1969, when the FCC secured the construction permit and license to Righi Broadcasting Mixopolis, Inc., a division of Righi Television Stations serving the Mixopolis era. They set up studio facilities on 756 Astro Avenue in 1969 and the antenna on Overlook Mountain in early 1970. The station made it's first newscast on June 10, 1970 to test out the signal, this was not a formal launch, however. The next day, the station formally launched with RBC programming. The station quickly grew to number one in the city for it's detailed, unbiased news reporting. The station saw many advertisers come for the viewership of their ads.

Mid years
The station rebranded from WMXR 9 to Mix 9, referring to Mixopolis and it's channel number. This branding made the station more popular as the viewers felt it connected with the city and it's citizens. In 1987, however, they were threatened by cable television, which was quickly growing and one provider [Mix Cable] made the Mixopolis News Channel, a local regional news channel that had more news, going on a 24/7 schedule. Righi Television Stations bought the cable provider and thus the channel, Mix Cable would be used for Worldvue's footprint in Mixopolis.

Current era
In 2003, the station launched it's digital signal and changed branding to The R 9, with RBC's other stations in Planet Mixel. They changed studios in 2005 to a brighter studio after using the studio from 1970 for 33 years, but that studio got upgrades over the years. The station got a new iteration of The R 9 logo in 2012, which it uses today. The station released a documentary about it's growth on June 11, 2015 to celebrate it's 45th anniversary.
