- History:
- Originally
licensed to Tullahoma, Tennessee, back in the 60s it was WJIG-FM,
spawn of an AM with the same calls. In the 80s, it was once
"Boogie 93", WBGY. Later the station began to target the
larger Huntsville market, as WKQD,"Power 93". That was as with
a Hot AC/CHR type format. At one point around 1990 became "The Ugly
FM". In 1991 the calls changed to WHVK in a first attempt at
country. In 1995 it was WTZT ("Twister 93.3") for about seven
months, becoming country "The Possum" around August of that year.
Before the Possum launch, they stunted with a computerized voice
countdown, interspersed with oddball quotes and commentary. In
the summer of 2000 the station's called changed again to WXMR and
the format was AC as "Mix 93.3". In January 2002 the calls
changed to WUSX as the station attempted country for a second time
as US-93.

- As part of a deal
between Cumulus and Clear Channel, the Tennessee Valley's radio dial
is being shaken up with several changes. This station was
re-licensed to New Market, AL as part of the deal. The transmitter
site has also been moved from near the TN/AL border, where the
station served the Huntsville market before the move, to a tower
site in Huntsville itself. As of 14 January 2008 the station was off the air,
in preparation to move to the new TX site and debut with a new
format. The station was on the air periodically between the 14th
and 15th, stunting as "Movie 93.3" with movie
soundtracks. "The Wolf" debuted the afternoon of the 15th,
with attempt #3 at country music. .
- It was
reported that the station stunted during the last week of August
2011, with a promised new format on 2 Friday 2011. The new
format was a variety hits mix centered on 80s and 90s pop hits
called "Journey".
- The station began
stunting with Christmas music the morning of the 14th of November
2014, and that quickly gave way to Cumulus' country legends NASH Icon
format the same day. This is attempt #4, and the sixth name
under which country music has been attempted at the station.
