History

[edit]

WJQR signed on as "Hot Country 105.5 WJQR" with Jacksonville personality and formerWZAZ station owner Mark Majors as morning host. The rest of the day was automated with the Hot Country radio service. At the time, WJQR was owned by Ken & Eileen Stein along with its co-owned sister stationWAOC (1420 AM).

Both stations were sold in 1999 with the FM station switching from modern country toGroovin' Oldies with the WYGVcall sign. WYGV simulcast with its new sister stationWXGV (105.3 FM) inFernandina Beach, Florida.

On March 21, 2003, the callsign was changed again to WSJF as both stations flipped to asmooth jazz format.[4]

WSJF's smooth jazz format lasted until 2008 and then had several formats between 2008 and 2011: rhythmic AC, oldies, talk, Spanish tropical and adult alternative.

On May 16, 2011, WSJF changed callsigns to WYRE-FM and introduced ahot adult contemporary format, branded as "The Wire". On September 30, 2014, WYRE-FM changed its call letters to WALE; on October 2, it shifted to adult rock, branded as "105.5 The Whale".[5] On November 4, 2014, WALE dropped the "105.5 The Whale" branding and became "105.5 WALE", before relaunching as "Beach 105.5".[6] Flagler Broadcasting, which purchased the station for $400,000, changed the station's callsign from WALE to WBHU to match this branding on December 22, 2014;[7] the company already uses the "Beach" branding onWBHQ (92.7 FM) inBeverly Beach.
