## History
### WIRA-FM and WOVV

Before its move to West Palm Beach, WOVV was one of the first FM outlets on the Treasure Coast and operated beside WIRA in Fort Pierce, Florida. For many years, both stations broadcast from a downtown riverfront location on Melody Lane. In the late 60s, WIRA-FM separated programming from WIRA to become WOVV and in 1971, the station's top 40 music era began when the station adopted an automated contemporary format from Drake-Chenault known as "Solid Gold Rock and Roll". At that time solid gold did not refer to exclusively oldies but was instead a fairly even mix of oldies and contemporary top 40 hits. A year later in 1972, the station began 24-hour operations and also began featuring progressive rock music at night. This lasted for a few years until being dropped by the end of the decade.
In 1985, Program Director Bill James was replaced by Bobby Magic from Cleveland as station ends four years of "live assist automation". Linda Hendry moved from evenings to midday, replaced in that slot by Mike Schneider. Dr. John Leeder left to manage a Port St. Lucie video store, and was replaced by Nick Caplan of Buffalo, New York. In July 1987, WZZR joins the Ft. Pierce market after dropping easy listening music for contemporary hit radio.

### Star 95.5

In October 1992, WOVV dropped the CHR format and became adult contemporary Star 95.5. Following this change, the station moved 60 miles south from Ft. Pierce to Northpoint Corporate Park on Northpoint Parkway in West Palm Beach in 1993. New Program Director Kurt Kelly gave the Palm Beach Post his home telephone number and invited listeners to call to comment on their likes and dislikes of the station's format. In April 1993, the station became a CHR station again.

### WCLB

The station abruptly changed formats to become country WCLB (the Country Club) on November 22, 1995, at 4:40 p.m., with Alan Jackson's "Gone Country" being the first song. The station signed a joint sales agreement with Fairbanks Communications, the owners of WRMF.
The station ran the syndicated Howard Stern Show in the morning from September 1996, until December 1997.
The station was briefly known as country "The Frog" and "Thunder Country" with call letters WXFG in 1998.

### WLDI

The station dropped country and returned to mainstream CHR as WiLD 95.5 (with new call letters WLDI) on August 14, 1998, shortly after 5 p.m., with a 9,550 song marathon. The first song was Quad City DJ's' "C'mon N' Ride It (The Train)". The station gave away a $25,000 cash prize at the conclusion of the music marathon. The station was the birthplace and the home of the successful morning show The KVJ Show (originally known as Kevin and Virginia in the Morning and later The Wild Morning Show with Kevin and Virginia, from 1999, until its departure to 97.3 The Coast (now known as Hits 97.3) in Miami on Monday August 5, 2013.
