The WWRX call letters were transferred to its current location from a station that was based in Providence, Rhode Island, WEEI. The station's call letters were WHJM before adopting this callsign.
Before that, the station was WKCD, with a modern adult contemporary format from 1999-2002 (under owners Back Bay Broadcasting and AAA Entertainment), and a smooth jazz format from its sign-on in the mid-1990s to 1999. [1][2]
