History

From October 1998 to March 2003 WQJQ was a Jammin' Oldies station.
On January 24, 2011, WQJQ relaunched as "Oldies 105.1" and in the process changed its callsign to WJDX-FM. The original WJDX-FM was a progressive rock station at 102.9 from the late 1960s through the early 1970s. The station changed its calls to WZZQ in 1973 and would evolve from progressive rock to a locally produced AOR music format.
WJDX-FM's oldies format includes some of the songs that were popular on WJDX (AM) when that station played Top 40 music during the 1970s.
In November 2013, WJDX-FM flipped to its usual Christmas music format for the holidays. However, it changed its name to "FM 105.1: The Christmas Station". On December 26, 2013, WJDX-FM rebranded as "105.1 The River" and became a classic hits station.
On September 1, 2014, the station ditched 1960s music to fully concentrate on 1970s and especially 1980s music. The station even had a slogan indicative of the change: "Jackson's Greatest Hits of the '70s and '80s."
On February 11, 2019, the station made the switch from classic hits to adult hits. Since then, the station's slogan has been "Jackson's Greatest Hits of the '80s and More."
On May 22, 2020, at noon, after stunting with music from different genres, WJDX-FM flipped to urban, branding itself as “Real 105.1”.
