On March 17, 1957, the station signed on as WQXT-FM, the FM counterpart to WQXT (now WPBR), under the ownership of the Flame Radio & TV Corporation.. They simulcast a full service middle of the road format of adult popular music and news, with national shows from the ABC Radio Network. The studios were located on Lake Worth Beach.
In 1963, WQXT-AM-FM were sold to Fairfax Broadcasting. The following year, the FM station's call sign was changed to WWOS, standing for "Wonderful World of Stereo," when the station began broadcasting in FM stereo full time. In 1971, the simulcast with WQXT ended, as WWOS switched to Progressive Rock using the call letters WMUM for "The Mother."
