History
The station signed on the air on February 16, 1988.Broadcasting & Cable Yearbook 1991 page B-63. Retrieved Feb. 19, 2025. It has always had the WAFC call sign and has always been owned by Glades Media. It came on the air nine years after its sister station debuted, at the time 106.3 WAFC-FM Clewiston and today 106.1 WJNX-FM Okeechobee.
In its early years, the station played Regional Mexican music with the branding Radio Fiesta. It also spent time playing country music, handing off the Regional Mexican format to its co-owned FM station.
In the 2010s, WAFC carried the nationally syndicated "True Oldies Channel" from Cumulus Media Networks. On June 30, 2014, Cumulus Media stopped distributing the TOC network. At that point, WAFC switched to Westwood One's "Classic Hits Radio" service.
On December 26, 2018, WAFC changed its format from classic hits to classic country music. It took the branding "Pure Country WAFC".
