WGHR (106.3 MHz) is an FM radio station broadcasting Westwood One's Good Time Oldies format.^[2] Licensed to Spring Hill, Florida, United States, it serves the northern Tampa Bay area, including Hernando and Citrus Counties. The station is currently owned by WGUL-FM, Inc. (named after the station's former call sign; see WGUL).

History

The station went on the air on 97.1 MHz as WEOA on October 31, 1989. On January 5, 1990, the station changed its call sign to WPDS; on August 14, 1992, it changed to WXOF.^[3]

As WXOF, then a country music-formatted station, the station would swap frequencies in 1998 with Holiday-based WLVU-FM 106.3 (now WSUN), in order for the latter station to get a stronger signal in the Tampa Bay area.

At 106.3 MHz, on January 11, 1999, the station changed its call sign to WGUL-FM and format to the Music of Your Life, and on January 1, 2005, the calls changed to WJQB.^[3]

On May 27, 2014, WJQB relaunched as "Hits 106".^[4] The station changed to its current WGHR call sign on June 1, 2014. On May 5, 2015, WGHR shifted its format from oldies to classic hits.
