History
The station signed on the air on October 12, 1983. Its original call sign was WOEZ. As the call letters imply, it had an easy listening sound. 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.
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".
