WJQB (106.3 FM) is a radio station broadcasting ABC Radio's True Oldies format.[1] Licensed to Spring Hill, Florida, USA, it serves the northern Tampa Bay area, including Hernando and Citrus Counties (part of the Gainesville/Ocala market). The station is currently owned by WGUL-FM, Inc. (named after the station's former call sign; see WGUL).
[edit] History
The station went on the air on 97.1 MHz as WEOA on 1989-10-31. On 1990-01-05, the station changed its call sign to WPDS, on 1992-08-14 to WXOF.[2]
As WXOF, then a country music-formatted station, the station would swap frequencies in 1998 with Holiday-based WLVU-FM 106.3 (now WSUN-FM), in order for the latter station to get a stronger signal in the Tampa Bay area.
At 106.3 MHz, on 1999-01-11, the station changed its call sign to WGUL-FM, and on 2005-01-01 to the current calls, WJQB.[3]
