On August 14, 1962, William H. Martin received the construction permit to establish a new radio station in Fort Myers, with the call letters WXYC.

Martin sold the construction permit prior to going on air to Lee Broadcasting,[2] which changed the call letters to WCAI before signing on August 22, 1964.

[7] The principals of Lee Broadcasting had sold WCAI in order to pursue a new FM license on Estero Island,[8] which they won and launched in 1983 as WQEZ.

[11] However, ratings surveys showed it dead last in the Fort Myers market of 12 stations,[12] and in September, employee paychecks started bouncing as payment complications emerged in the sale to Horizon.

[20] Only a year later, however, 1350 AM returned to talk, this time as WHYS, because it struggled to overcome its image as a "black" radio station with white listeners and advertisers.

In late July 2012, Everglades City Broadcasting, owners of WBGY (88.1 FM) on Marco Island, began operating WCRM and flipped it to Fox Sports Radio.

[32] Genesis paired the station with a translator it bought in Melbourne and moved to Fort Myers[33] as W298CB (107.5 FM), and relaunched WCRM as WZKO "107.5 Jamz".
