When the station was purchased by Zimmer Radio Group of Cape Girardeau, Missouri in the mid 1990s, the station flip-flopped dial positions with sister station WKKX (currently WHHL) on 104.1, which had a country format known as "Kix 104." The station became "New Country Kix 106.5", where it would remain until 2000 when it was purchased by Bonneville, when it adopted a Smooth Jazz/NAC format as "Smooth 106.5 WSSM" (later "106.5 Smooth Jazz"). In April of 2005, the station adopted its current format and call letters.
