This station is the second station in the West Palm Beach area—and the third AM station overall—to use the WJNO call sign, which originated on the former WJNO (1230 AM) in 1936; that station is now known as WBZT.[3] WJNO is also notable as being the first station in the market to use the WIRK call sign when it signed on in 1947;[4] it is unrelated to the current WIRK.
