[edit] Station History

The station first signed on in 1993, beginning as WAQK. A year later the callsign was changed to WJOI. In 1997 the station to its first jab at the Top 40 radio with another callsign change to WKSL, and the monicker "KISS FM". This station, like the "Q", had a format based on that of KIIS-FM in L.A.. Though moderately popular, and the longest lasting format to date, this format was ended in 2001, and in August of that year it was changed to WYYL, a.k.a. "Wyld 107-5". This station had a Rhythmic Contemporary Hit format, similar to that of another former Memphis station, Power 99. This format only lasted for four months before being turned into WMPS, a.k.a. "The Pig". This station had more of an Adult Contemporary format, like similar Memphis stations FM 100 or WRVR. This station can also be heard online at http://radiopig.com/index.html. Finally in 2004, after three years of Memphis not having a true Top 40 outlet, the station was turned into its current format and callsign.
