WJCC 1700 is notable as the first broadcasting home of South Florida sports radio personality Jorge Sedano, who began his career in 1999 as a host/update anchor/producer at the station, then known as WAFN 1700 "The Fan." He went on to a successful radio career with the Fox Radio Sports Network, and is currently a radio and television personality at ESPN.

During its time as "The Fan," WAFN 1700 carried programming from New York's "Sports Radio 66 and 101.9 FM" (WFAN (AM) and WFAN-FM), and also carried the controversial Don Imus morning show.
