WMJV airs a hot adult contemporary format branded as "99.5/97.5 The Wave", along with translator W248BS in Jacksonville.

[citation needed] In 2002, WXNR was left as the only Howard Stern affiliate in the Southeastern United States.

On February 2, 2017, Beasley Broadcast Group announced that it would sell its six stations and four translators in the Greenville-New Bern-Jacksonville market, including WXNR, to Curtis Media Group for $11 million to reduce the company's debt.

The first song on Hot was "Unforgettable" by French Montana featuring Swae Lee.
