History
93.5FM WGCV, signed on 1977 as a station licensed to Port St Joe, Florida. Don Crisp bought 1080AM WJOE & 93.5FM WGCV in 1982, moved and upgraded the FM signal to 94.5 with 100kw of power. The stations were sold in 1983 to Brown Broadcasting, affiliated with John Brown University of Siloam Springs, AR. WJOE became WJBU, with WGCV changing calls to WJST with a rock format known as "T94". Initially, WJST was on a shorter, 500' tower (with the AM). In 1986, WJST moved to a 1,000' tower. Brown sold to Champion in 1986, who immediately sold the stations to Asterisk, Inc. WJST became a country station, but unable to compete effectively with the established 92.5FM WPAP eventually had a call letter change to WZRR, with a format change to SMN's "Z-Rock" format.<ref>https://www.radiodiscussions.com/showthread.php?628834-93-5-Port-St-Joe/page3 <ref>
