History

The station began broadcasting in November 1989 as WOKF, and was originally licensed to Folkston, Georgia.[5] The station aired a country music format.[5] The station was originally owned by former Folkston mayor Jack Mays.[5][6] By 1999, the station had adopted an oldies format.[7] In 2002, the station was sold to TAMA Group for $650,000.[8]

In December 2003, the station's call sign was changed to WFJO, and the station adopted a rhythmic oldies format as "Jammin' Oldies 92.5."[9][10][11] By 2005, the station had begun airing an urban gospel format.[12] By 2006, the station had begun airing a regional Mexican format as "Fiesta 92.5".[13][14]

In 2009, the station began airing progressive talk programming overnight and mornings as "Radio Free Jacksonville," while the Rejoice! Musical Soul Food urban gospel network aired afternoons and evenings.[15][16] Later that year, the station began airing a Spanish tropical format as "La Nueva Fiesta".[17]

Shortly thereafter, the station began simulcasting the sports programming of 1010 WJXL.[18][19] In March 2011, the station returned to a gospel music format as "Joy 92.5."[20]

In 2011, the station was moved to Jacksonville Beach, Florida.[21][22] In 2012, the station was purchased by River City Broadcasting for $1.95 million.[23] In March of that year, the station returned to simulcasting 1010 WJXL.[23] In September 2012, the station's call sign was changed to WJXL-FM.[11]
