History

The station had originally signed on in May 1977 as beautiful music WJEE, but became country as WCRJ in 1981. In 1991, the call letters changed to WROO, then on December 19, 2005, it became the new home for modern rock station WPLA Planet Radio. While WPLA saw its ratings rise after the frequency change, the station began losing ground when WXXJ signed on in 2009.
On August 4, 2010, the station flipped to classic hits-formatted Magic 107.3, competing primarily against WJGL. On October 13, 2010, Magic 107.3 changed its call sign from WPLA to WJGH. Neal Sharpe was named program director and assumed the position on November 18, 2010.
On April 18, 2012, the station flipped to adult hits as 107.3 Jack FM. In May 2013, program director Skip Kelly was brought in.
On April 17, 2017, WWJK dropped the Jack FM brand and re-branded as 107.3 Jacksonville, with no change in format. The branding would be short-lived, as the station would re-brand again on May 26 as 107.3 The River.
On March 8, 2019, WWJK flipped to mainstream rock as 107.3 Planet Radio, returning the brand and format to both WWJK and a full-power signal. The syndicated Lex and Terry morning show also returned to the station.
