This station originally bore the call letters WWBZ and was licensed to Vineland, New Jersey. WWBZ operated from 1946 to 1989, then went silent. In 1990 it moved to, and petitioned to change its city of license to Washington Township and returned to the air as WVSJ ("We're Very South Jersey"), carrying mostly talk programming. WVSJ was one of the first Philadelphia-area stations to carry Rush Limbaugh on weekdays, but lost rights to the program when it was picked up by WWDB. In 1992 the station adopted a country music format and became WNJC ("New Jersey Country"), shifted to Spanish-language programming by 1994, then evolved into its current brokered format.

Venditti died in April 1998, and the station's cuurent studios, located at 123 Egg Harbor Road in Washington Township, NJ was are named "Michael Venditti Studios" in his honor. The station is still owned by John Forsythe.
