The station went on the air as WIFL on November 21, 1997. On May 6, 1999, the station changed its call sign to the current WKEZ-FM.[2]

On June 8, WKEZ-FM changed their format from easy listening to oldies, branded as "True Oldies".

The station was most recently owned by Jonathan Smith's Choice Radio Keys Corporation. Due to an inability to pay outstanding debts, the company assigned the licenses of WGMX and sister stations WFFG, WGMX, and WKEY-FM to a trustee on June 4, 2018 to be sold for the benefit of creditors.
