History

On September 1, 1992, the station signed on as WWXX. It was owned by Golden Gulf Coast Broadcasting with its studios and offices in Biloxi. It later switched to the call sign WXCR as a Contemporary Christian music station. In 1998, the call letters flipped to WQYZ with an urban adult contemporary format.

On October 25, 2017, at 7 p.m., WQYZ dropped its urban AC format (branded as "92.5 The Beat") and began stunting as "Roulette Radio." On October 31, WQYZ flipped to classic rock, branded as "Rock 92.5. In 2022 WQYZ dropped Rover's morning glory for Walton & Johnson morning show."
