History

The station went on the air as WKRY on July 15, 1985. On November 23, 1999, the station changed its call sign to the current WKEY-FM.[2]

On June 8, 2011, WKEY-FM changed their format to oldies, branded as "True Oldies".

On April 1, 2017, WKEY-FM changed their format from oldies to classic hits, branded as "Mix 93.7".

The station was formerly owned by Jonathan Smith's Choice Radio Keys Corporation. Due to an inability to pay outstanding debts, the company assigned the licenses of WGMX and sister stations WFFG, WGMX, and WKEZ-FM to a trustee on June 4, 2018, to be sold for the benefit of creditors. Effective November 4, 2020, the trustee sold WKEY-FM to Spottswood Partners II, Ltd for $15,000 and the cancellation of a lease valued at $85,899.

The station went off-air in March 2020. January 8, 2021, WKEY-FM resumed broadcasting, branded as 93.7 NRG (Energy), a new non-stop dance and disco music format created by NRG Media of Florida.
