The station was assigned the call letters WPCF on 1979-04-01. On 1994-06-06, the station changed its call sign to WDLP then on 2000-03-10 to the current WPCF.[2]
On January 6, 2014, WPCF dropped its Trop-Rock format for all Dance and Electronic music, becoming "93.9 PLAY-FM" under the operations of Patrick Pfeffer, owner of Club La Vela, a dance club in Panama City Beach that bills itself as "the largest nightclub in the USA".[3]
