Owned by Audacy, Inc., the station broadcasts an alternative rock format targeting Miami-Dade County and the Miami-Fort Lauderdale metropolitan area.
Within a year, WEAT-FM and WOOD-FM in Grand Rapids, Michigan, were among the first two FM stations to claim overall ratings leadership in their markets.
[16] The next year, CBS bought the entire American Radio Systems group in a $2.6 billion transaction; however, WEAT AM was sold off to Clear Channel by way of Paxson Communications.
[19] WEAT sued, claiming a violation of her non-compete clause; Ross's lawyers charged that the station misrepresented contests and failed to give her promised vacation time.
[27] With WEAT now at 107.9, 104.3 temporarily flipped to a jazz/adult contemporary hybrid known as "Smooth FM" and adopted the call letters WMSF.
On August 24, Palm Beach Broadcasting announced its intention to sell WMSF to Lincoln Financial Media for $13 million.
[30] On August 21, 2015, at 11 a.m., WAXY-FM changed its format to alternative rock, branded as "104.3 The Shark", launching with 5,000 songs in a row commercial free.
[31] This marked the first Alternative Rock station in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale radio market since February 11, 2005, when WZTA flipped to Reggaeton, becoming WMGE.
