It was previously WNEW-FM for many years, after sister AM station WNEW (1130) and television station WNEW-TV, with all being owned by Metromedia; when the AM station was sold and became WBBR in 1992, WNEW-FM adopted the four-letter WNEW callsign.

This frequency was first occupied by WNJR in 1949, broadcasting from Newark, New Jersey. WNEW-FM came on the air in 1958, playing a popular music format, notable only for a period in which as a gimmick they had an all-female broadcasting staff.
