In 1996, the station first signed on as WAGQ.[3] It aired a Christian Contemporary format and was owned by Hi I-Q Radio,Inc. It was powered at 1,500 watts, with its signal limited to communities around Brunswick. WAGQ was bought by Way Radio, Inc. in November 1998 for $100,000.[4] The call sign was changed to WAYR-FM. Way Radio increased the station's power to 2,300 watts a short time later. In the early 2010s, it increased its power to 14,000 watts, extending its coverage to the northern suburbs of Jacksonville.
