The station operated with 3,000 watts of power, which put them at a competitive disadvantage against its Newport-based rival Z-103, but WXQR had a solid following of loyal listeners.
NextMedia sold WXQR-FM and their 32 other radio stations to Digity, LLC for $85 million; the transaction was consummated on February 10, 2014.
On August 2, 2021, WXQR-FM changed their format from active rock to Regional Mexican, branded as "La Pantera 105.5".
The previous Rock format continued as a live stream until Tuesday night January 31, 2023 at the stroke of midnight when it signed off for a final time with The Doors “ The End”.
On October 4, 2024, WXQR-FM changed their format from Regional Mexican to Spanish rhythmic, branded as "Candela 105.5".
