History
The station was assigned the call letters WMST-FM on July 18, 1979. On October 19, 2000, the station changed its call sign to WMKJ with an oldies format known as "Magic 105.5", playing music of the 1960s and 70s.[2]
On May 7, 2010 105.5 rebranded as "Rewind 105.5" with 1970s and 1980s classic hits. This was not a major musical change for the station, but resulted in the station dropping most of the music of the 1960s, although some remains. The call letters were changed to WWRW.[3] which used to be the call letters of a radio station licensed to Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin from 1968 to 1994 (now WGLX).
On March 9, 2020, iHeart sold WWRW to Clarity Communications for $340,000.[4]
