[edit] History
The station went on the air as WDLF in 1948 with a pop format. Stetson University bought the station in 1949 & changed the calls to WJBS, reflecting the initials of university founder John B. Stetson. The university would again own the station between 1984-1987. Stetson sold the station to Rudi Gresham's WXVQ, Inc. which changed the calls to WETO & a format change to adult standards. After WETO, the station again became WJBS for a time before taking WXVQ (XV being the Roman Numeral 15) in 1980. With a station sale in 1987 to Great Lakes Broadcasting for $325,000 the station adopted an oldies format. Another sale came in 1991, this time for $175,000 to change owners to the Green Broadcast Group, & the station flipped to a News/Talk format that same year. Daytona Beach broadcasting group Black Crow bought the station in 2000 to simulcast its News/Talk property there: WNDB. WXVQ was changed to WNDA. The station was sold again in 2005 to Spanish broadcasters J&V Communications who changed the calls to the current WTJV.
The station is branded as Furia Mexicana and the web site indicates it is a simulcast with WOTS in Kissimmee, FL and WSDO in Sanford, FL.
