editWLLY-FM launched as WAFC-FM 106.3 in Clewiston, Florida, on July 2, 1979.[1] It was owned by Tri-County Stereo and broadcast a modern country format.
WAFC-FM moved to 99.5 MHz and upgraded to a Class C3 station in 2001. It then moved to Palm Beach Gardens and downgraded back to Class A in 2009, allowing it to enter the West Palm Beach radio market.
