The WAXY calls came on line before RKO's purchase of the station; the combo was WEXY-WAXY after the AM switched to a more contemporary format. WAXY was later sold to RKO, and the AM switched to gospel.
Under the callsign WAXY, the radio station was owned by RKO General. In the early 1970s, the station had a rock format, but flipped to automated oldies in 1975.. In 1990 RKO sold WAXY and the station was owned and operated by Metroplex Communications (sister station to WHYI (Y-100) until 1994.
Clear Channel Communications acquired Metroplex in March, 1994 and the callsign was changed from WAXY-FM to WBGG-FM on September 1st. The final quarter hour of music was delivered by DJ Miguel Lombana and consisted of "It's the Same Old Song" by the Four Tops, "The End" by The Doors and "The Long and Winding Road" by The Beatles which was an inside gag and reference to Stuart Elliott and his signing off of 96X (WPOW) years earlier. The station went dark for 1 minute and was signed back on the air at 12:01 as WBGG Ft. Lauderdale, Miami The New Big106.
In April 2004, the Federal Communications Commission fined Clear Channel Communications $495,000 for broadcasting allegedly indecent material on the Howard Stern show. Subsequently, Clear Channel dropped the Stern show from six stations: WBGG-FM' in Fort Lauderdale, FL; WTKS-FM, Cocoa Beach, FL; WTFX-FM, Louisville, KY; KIOZ-FM, San Diego; WNVE-FM, Honeoye Falls, N.Y.; and WXDX-FM, Pittsburgh.
To fill the morning talk slot, in May, 2004, Clear Channel moved Paul & Young Ron from WZTA, Miami (94.9 Zeta). (Lex and Terry took over the morning show at WZTA, but lost that outlet for their syndicated program when it abruptly switched formats to Hispanic Urban in February 2005, changing its callsign to WMGE.) Since the switch, Paul and Young Ron has continued to be a popular program in South Florida.
