As WXOF, then a country music-formatted station, the station would swap frequencies in 1998 with Holiday-based WLVU-FM 106.3 (now WSUN-FM), in order for the latter station to get a stronger signal in the Tampa Bay area.

At 106.3 MHz, on 1999-01-11, the station changed its call sign to WGUL-FM, and on 2005-01-01 to the current calls, WJQB.
