The station was previously heard on 104.9 WYGC, bringing it a decent signal to Gainesville as WMFQ's signal is unlistenable in some parts of the Gainesville area.

On January 25, 2021, WMFQ began airing Elvis Duran and the Morning Show after hosts Jenn Ryan and Kevin "Bus" Birdhouse were furloughed, and transferred to WYOY in Jackson, Mississippi.[1]

On October 31, 2023 Some listeners of the WMFQ frequency began broadcasting Port Charlotte’s Kix Country 92.9 on their radios during the early morning hours as their towers were down.
