WJQR signed on as "Hot Country 105.5 WJQR" with Jacksonville personality and former WZAZ station owner Mark Majors as morning host. The rest of the day was automated with the Hot Country radio service. At the time, WJQR was owned by Ken & Eileen Stein along with its co-owned sister station WAOC/1420. Both stations were sold in 1999 with the FM station switching from Modern Country to ''Groovin' Oldies'' with the WYGV call sign. WYGV simulcast with its new sister station WXGV (105.3 FM) in Fernandina Beach, Florida. On March 21, 2003 the callsign was changed again to WSJF as both stations flipped to a smooth jazz format.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WBHU Call Sign History )〕 WSJF's smooth jazz format lasted until 2008 and then had several formats between 2008 and 2011: rhythmic AC, oldies, talk, Spanish tropical and adult alternative. On May 16, 2011, WSJF changed its call letters to WYRE-FM and introduced a hot adult contemporary format, branded as "The Wire". On September 30, 2014, WYRE-FM changed its call letters to WALE; on October 2, it shifted to adult rock, branded as "105.5 The Whale".〔(Whale Watching in St. Augustine )〕 On November 4, 2014, WALE dropped the "105.5 The Whale" branding and is now going by simply "105.5 WALE" and will soon relaunch as "Beach 105.5".〔(105.5 The Whale Gets Beached )〕 Flagler Broadcasting, which purchased the station for $400,000, changed WALE's call letters to WBHU to match this branding on December 22, 2014; the company already uses the "Beach" branding on WBHQ (92.7 FM) in Beverly Beach. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WBHU」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
