History
The station was assigned the call sign WBIN-FM on July 3, 1992;[2] it signed on in November 1996[3] with an adult contemporary format.[4] In April 1998, WBIN-FM dropped a contemporary Christian format and began simulcasting a southern gospel format with WBIN (1540 AM);[5] on May 18, 1998, the station changed its call sign to WOCE,[2] ahead of a change to adult contemporary that July.[6]
In September 2000, the adult contemporary format moved to WCLE-FM (104.1);[7] WOCE then changed to a ranchera format from Jones Radio Network.[8] By February 2001, the station was carrying programming from the Z-Spanish Network, switching from its Spanish-language hits programming to regional Mexican.[9] On April 3, 2006, the call sign was changed to WSAA.[2] Following a silent period, the station returned to the air with a country music format, "Ocoee 93", on September 2, 2008.[10]
WSAA carried an adult hits format under the "Jack FM" beginning in May 2009, after WPLZ (95.3 FM) switched from "Jack FM" to a news/talk format. On September 6, 2011, WSAA changed its format to EMF's Air 1 Christian rock format; the "Jack FM" format moved to WQMT (93.9 FM).
