History
WSOS-FM went on the air on 105.5 MHz as WMKM, licensed to
adult contemporary format as "The Muuusic Station".[4] Under Renda's ownership, the community of license was changed from St. Augustine to Fruit Cove, to better serve the Jacksonville market. The signal still originated in St. Augustine until March 9, 2011, when it switched formats from soft adult contemporary to classic rock.[5] On April 5, 2016, WSOS-FM changed their format from a simulcast of contemporary Christian-formatted WMUV to a simulcast of talk-formatted WBOB.[6] On May 23, 2018, WSOS-FM switched from the WBOB simulcast to a simulcast of classic country-formatted WYKB, branded as "Jax Country".[7]
In January 2020, Jax Country became exclusive to WSOS-FM.
