It is the Birmingham affiliate for the Auburn ISP Sports Network. The station is owned by Cumulus Media. The station was assigned the WJQX call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on August 1, 2013. This was the second station serving the Birmingham market to have held the WAPI-FM call sign. From 1958 until 1994, the station currently known as WJOX-FM was known as WAPI-FM.

History of WJQX
The forerunner of WJQX signed on at 105.9 FM in the summer of 1993 as WWIV, licensed to Trussville, a suburb east of Birmingham. Originally, WWIV was a simulcast of WYDE, which at the time was a talk radio station. After a few months, WWIV became WWBR and was known on the air as “105-9 the Bear”. WWBR was an album rock/active rock station. While the format of the station was relatively well received by its listeners, a weak broadcast signal (3 Kw) and less than ideal transmission tower location on Birmingham’s eastern side hampered its ratings success.

Above Me
by: RufioIf I were to walk till time saw no end.
If I were to climb till the air was too thin.
I could not find a picture fit the frame.
As perfect as you.
As perfect as you.
You showed me life and lived nothing less.
Yet you're so above me.
I'll take my time you memory is bliss.
The angel above me.
When I look at the stars they shine of your eyes.
The sky it burns bright with your presence tonight.
Yet your so above me and I cannot fly.
To the angel above me I long to be with. With.
Angel above me.
To look at the mountains vast and great.
Is one step above in seeing your face.
To look at the stars for they lead the way.
To the angel above.
If I were to walk till time saw no end.
If I were to climb till the air was too thin.
I could not find a picture fit the frame.
As perfect as you.
As perfect as you.
You showed me life and lived nothing less.
Yet you're so above me.
I'll take my time you memory is bliss.
The angel above me.
When I look at the stars they shine of your eyes.
The sky it burns bright with your presence tonight.
Yet your so above me and I cannot fly.
To the angel above me I long to be with. With.
