The station had originally been WZBO, running an adult contemporary format out of their Edenton, NC studio. In 1990, The Loesch family purchased the station and was able to raise the station's power from 6 kW to 64 kW and relocated its tower to Columbia, NC and its studios to Nags Head, NC and went modern rock as WERX. In the mid-1990s the station went to an oldies format, and finally to its current classic hits format.
