The station signed on in September 1968 as WRMF-FM. It originally was licensed to Titusville and it broadcast on 98.3 with only 3,000 watts, a fraction of its current output. Its original owner was WRMF, Inc., which also owned WRMF 1060 AM (now WIXC). The two stations simulcast a Soft AC format. In 1972, WRMF-AM-FM switched to a Middle of the Road (MOR) format. Then in 1979, WRMF-AM-FM changed to a Beautiful Music format. However, the beautiful music sound was short-lived.
Later that year, WRMF-FM flipped to Album-oriented rock (AOR) under the new call signWAJX, while the AM station continued programming an easy listening sound. In 1986, WAJX flipped to Adult Top 40 under the new call sign WSCF.
Country Music
In 1989, WSCF changed the call sign again to WGNE-FM and flipped to Country music as the "Great 98". A year later the station was sold to Sage Broadcasting and was moved to 98.1 in the process, along with a boost in power.
In 1991, WGNE-FM was sold again to SBC Technologies, Inc., which sold WGNE once again to Southern Starr, LP for $3.5 million. In 1993, WGNE was again sold to Robert F.X. Silverman. Around this time WGNE rebranded as "98 Frog". (Many country stations around the U.S. were using the "Frog" branding at that time.)
In 1996, WGNE was sold to SFX Broadcasting, which sold it back to Southern Starr a year later. In 1998, Capstar bought WGNE. Capstar was absorbed into Clear Channel Communications that same year. In 2000, WGNE was sold to Mega Communications. On June 28, 2000, Mega moved the country format to 99.9 in the Jacksonvilleradio market, now WGNE-FMMiddleburg, Florida.
On December 1, 2010, WNUE flipped to Spanish adult hits as Jose FM 98.1. On May 17, 2012, WNUE changed the format again, this time to Salsa music, branded as "Salsa 98.1".[4]
