WGHR (106.3 FM) is a radio station broadcasting Westwood One's Good Time Oldies format.[1] Licensed to Spring Hill, Florida, USA, it serves the northern Tampa Bay area, including Hernando and Citrus Counties (part of the Gainesville/Ocala market). The station is currently owned by WGUL-FM, Inc. (named after the station's former call sign; see WGUL).

History

The station went on the air on 97.1 MHz as WEOA on 1989-10-31. On 1990-01-05, the station changed its call sign to WPDS and on August 14, 1992, to WXOF.[2]

As WXOF, then a country music-formatted station, the station would swap frequencies in 1998 with Holiday-based WLVU-FM 106.3 (now WSUN-FM), in order for the latter station to get a stronger signal in the Tampa Bay area.

At 106.3 MHz, on January 11, 1999, the station changed its call sign to WGUL-FM and format to the Music of Your Life, and on January 1, 2005 the calls changed to WJQB.[2]

On May 27, 2014, WJQB relaunched as "Hits 106".[3] The station changed to its current WGHR call sign on June 1, 2014.
