WSUN (97.1 FM) is a commercial radio station, licensed to Holiday, Florida, and serving the Tampa Bay Area.
In 1998, the station would relocate to 97.1 FM (swapping frequencies with Citrus County's WXOF), to better reach the Tampa Bay market.
Mired with a subpar signal and being one of two oldies stations in the market (WYUU was the other) did not allow WSUN-FM to take off in the Tampa Bay area.
The first song, "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)" by Fuel was dedicated to modern adult contemporary WSSR and active rocker WXTB, both of whom are owned by competitor Clear Channel Communications (now iHeartMedia).

In 2019, Cox Media Group transferred WSUN, along with Orlando sister station WPYO, to CXR Radio, LLC, a divestiture trust run by Elliot B.
At the promised time, WSUN began stunting with a loop of a redirecting message for "97X" listeners to W248CA, WPOI-HD2 and WWRM-HD2, as well as the station's mobile apps and online stream.
On April 29, SBS officially closed on their purchase of WSUN, and shifted the stunting to a loop of songs featured in their new Spanish contemporary hits format, which debuted on May 9, as "El Nuevo Zol 97.1".
From the 1960s into the 1980s, WSUN was known as a leading country music formatted station, benefiting from its signal that covered all of Florida's Gulf Coast by day and reached into Texas by night.
In 1970, WSUN-TV would go dark, while WSUN radio and its then-sister, WQXM-FM, would be sold to the broadcasting arm of pharmaceutical company Plough, Inc.
The albums' goal is to provide exclusive acoustic performances and to help raise money and awareness to the needs of environment in Florida.
The latest installment in the series, Volume 7, released on September 8, 2011, includes performances by Foster the People, A Day to Remember, Silversun Pickups, Manchester Orchestra, Matt Schultz from Cage the Elephant, Sick Puppies, Young the Giant, The Joy Formidable and Grouplove.
