History

107.7 first filed for a construction permit in March 1988, and initially assigned the call letters WIZD. However, these call letters were not used and the station went on the air June 1, 1989 as "Jumpin' Country 107.7" WHMQ, though licensed to North Baltimore, maintained its studios and offices along Tiffin Avenue in Findlay.

From 1999 to 2002 callsign was changed to WIMJ and was known as Magic 107.7 with an Oldies format.

In 2002 Clear Channel changed the callsign to WPFX-FM and the format was also changed to classic rock as 107.7 The Fox to better target then rival Classic Hits 100.5 WKXA in Findlay.

In July 2008, WPFX changed its format classic rock as 107.7 The Fox to Adult contemporary as My 107.7 just before going off the air in August 2008.
