[edit] History

WJRR began operations in 1962 as classical music station WXBR. The station was renamed WCKS in 1976 and adopted a Top 40/CHR format as "CK101." In 1984 the station picked up the WDOQ calls after they were dropped by 101.9 FM in Daytona Beach and the format was changed to rock, then to adult contemporary shortly afterward. 101.1 FM adopted the new calls WSTF in 1985 and became known as Sunny 101 and later Star 101, continuing with an adult contemporary format. After a brief stint as WVRI "Variety 101" in the early 1990s, the current WJRR calls and rock format were adopted in 1993.
