[edit] History

AM 1280 was Middle-of-the-road formatted WDSU-AM and was the sister station to WDSU-TV and WDSU-FM until the radio stations were sold in 1972. The AM became WGSO with an Adult Contemporary format. By the 1980s it switched to Top 40 as "13-Q" under the WQUE call sign, only to later switch to R&B Oldies as WMKJ, "Majic 1280". In 1987 it became a simulcast of WQUE-FM after the station evolved to R&B.

In the early 1990s they tried a News/Talk format, but it was a failure. By the mid 1990s they flipped to an All-Blues format, and although it was successful ratings-wise, it wasn't a moneymaker. They would drop that format in October 2003 for its current format.
