History
The station went on the air on 97.1 MHz as WEOA on 1989-10-31. On 1990-01-05, the station changed its call sign to WPDS and on August 14, 1992, to WXOF.
As WXOF, then a country music-formatted station, the station would swap frequencies in 1998 with Holiday-based WLVU-FM 106.3 (now WSUN), in order for the latter station to get a stronger signal in the Tampa Bay area.
At 106.3 MHz, on January 11, 1999, the station changed its call sign to WGUL-FM and format to the Music of Your Life, and on January 1, 2005 the calls changed to WJQB.
On May 27, 2014, WJQB relaunched as "Hits 106". The station changed to its current WGHR call sign on June 1, 2014. On May 5, 2015 WGHR shifted its format from oldies to classic hits.
