History
The station signed on the air on October 12, 1983Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters"..[1] Its original call sign was WOEZ. As the call letters imply, it had an easy listening sound.[2] It was powered at 3,000 watts, a fraction of its current output.
From the early 2000s until 2012, it was alternative rock station WJBX, although it flipped later to active rock after its sister station WRXK-FM switched to hot talk. Every December, WJBX hosted a concert called the "99Xmas Ball".
On June 20, 2013, WJBX took over sister station 770 WWCN's ESPN sports radio programming, with the rock format moving back to sister station WRXK-FM.[3][4]
On May 28, 2021, the ESPN Radio format returned to 770 AM. At that point, WWCN changed its format to tropical music, branded as "Playa 99.3".[5] (Playa is Spanish for Beach.)
