History

WSOS-FM went on the air on 105.5 MHz as WMKM, licensed to St. Augustine, Florida. Its original construction permit was filed on August 10, 1981.^[3] WMKM changed callsigns on March 19, 1985 to WSOS & on September 3, 2002 became WSOS-FM with the acquisition of 1170/WKLN (which took the WSOS callsign). By the time WSOS-FM was sold to Renda Broadcasting in 2005, it was running an adult contemporary format as "The Muuusic Station".^[4] Under Renda's ownership, the community of license was changed from St. Augustine to Fruit Cove, to better serve the Jacksonville market. The signal still originated in St. Augustine until March 9, 2011, when it switched formats from soft adult contemporary to classic rock.^[5]

On April 5, 2016 WSOS-FM changed their format from a simulcast of contemporary Christian-formatted WMUV 100.7 FM Brunswick, Georgia to a simulcast of talk-formatted WBOB 600 AM Jacksonville, Florida.^[6]
