Owner:: Fort Walton Beach Radio, LLC (Eugene Cella)
History:: This station dates back to an original Construction Permit issued to Eugene Cella for a new class A station on 106.9 MHz, licensed to Fort Walton Beach. When the permit was granted in October 2021, it set off a change at the translator for Pensacola-area AM station WRNE, who was on the same channel. That translator was granted a move to 93.7 MHz in June 2021 but never build out that facility and the permit expired.

In early September 2024 the license was transferred to Fort Walton Beach Radio, LLC, a wholly owned company by Cella. On 10 September 2024 the station applied for an initial call sign of WFWO. On 19 September 2024 the station filed a License to Cover but as of publishing time (24 September 2024) it's unclear if the station is on the air.
