History

WCKO actually had been on the air since the early 1970s. WCKO originally had a soul/R&B format it was the sister station of long time AM R&B leader in Broward County WRBD 1470. In late 1977 WCKO changed it moniker to K-102 and switched to an automated disco format. In 1979 K-102 changed formats again (probably due to the death of disco^{[citation needed]}) to a tight rotation of rock hits. By late 1980 K-102 had made a dent into WSHE's dominance of South Florida rock audience, Zeta-4 had slipped to the number three rock station in the market and was about to switch to a top 40/CHR format due to the fact WMJX 96-X was losing it's FCC license. At this time K-102 was calling itself "South Florida Hottest Rock"^{[citation needed]}. In early 1982 K-102 began playing a new wave format and calling itself K-102 Rock of the Eighties which infringed on copyright violations KROQ-FM owned that moniker at the time. In late 1983 K-102 began playing a heavy metal format programed by broadcaster Neil Mersky this lasted until the station was sold again in 1984.

WCKO-FM switched to an album oriented rock format in in 1982. The station was owned and operated by Sconnix Broadcasting.

Due to WSHE-FM's stronger signal, in 1985, the call letters were changed to WMXJ-FM and sold to Jefferson-Pilot Communications (now Lincoln Financial Media) as Majic 102.7 and adopted the current oldies format. Facilities were later moved to Northwest Second Avenue in North Miami-Dade County along its sister station WLYF-FM.
