History edit

WFOX signed on in 1966 as WDRN.

In 1976, it changed its call letters to WLYQ, meaning "We Like You". Branded as "Q96", it carried a Top 40 format.[5]

In April 2006, the current call letters replaced WEFX.[2][6]

On May 13, 2019, WFOX relaunched its classic rock format with a playlist centered on 1980s-2000s rock.[7]
