History

The station went on the air in 1971 as WERL-FM. On 1985-04-05, the station changed its call sign to the current WRJO.[2]

The WERL call sign remains on its AM station at 950 kHz.

WERL was a reference to "Werl (as in "Whirl")-Wide Radio", taken from its early logo in the 1960s and 70s.

Before the oldies format, WRJO held a country music format with the nickname "Eagle Country".

WRJO became affiliated with the Milwaukee Brewers Radio Network taking the affiliation away from sister station WNWX “Mix 96” in Rhinelander.
