The call letters became WQFM in 1996. It played oldies of the 1960s and 70s, known as "Oldies 92 and 100", then switched to Hot Adult Contemporary, branded as QFM and later The Q.

On September 16, 2010, WQFM changed its format to alternative rock, branded as FM 92.1 and changed its call letters to WFUZ.

On August 21, 2024, at 6:00 am, after playing "Circles" by Post Malone, WQFM/WQFN flipped to classic hits as "92 Mix FM". This came as WQFM had a 1.5 share in the July 2024 Nielsen Audio ratings. The first song played on "Mix FM" was "Beginnings" by Chicago. [14]
