The FM station signed on the air on June 30, 1987. Its original call letters were WIKX-FM. In the 1990s, the station switched to a Spanish language Tejano music format. Popular DJs included Gabino Soliz, “El Chavo Alegre,” and Irma Ayala.

In 1999, the FM station was acquired by Praise Enterprises Naples LLC for $1 million.[4] That company put a Christian Contemporary format on the it, using the call sign WGHQ.
