The station went on the air as WPFI on December 4, 1989, licensed to St. Simons Island, Georgia.

On May 15, 2014, Qantum Communications announced that it would sell its 29 stations, including WBGA, to Clear Channel Communications (now iHeartMedia), in a transaction connected to Clear Channel's sale of WALK AM-FM in Patchogue, New York to Connoisseur Media via Qantum. [3] Clear Channel, in turn, committed to putting WBGA into a divestiture trust (Brunswick Station Trust LLC) to satisfy concentration limits. The transaction was consummated on September 9, 2014.

On September 8, 2014, WBGA changed their format to classic hits, branded as "Big 92.7", under new call letters, WMOG. [4]

On February 19, 2016, iHeartMedia sold WMOG to local competitor, Golden Isles Broadcasting, LLC, for $225,000. [5]

On June 1, 2016, coincident with the consummation of the sale to Golden Isles Broadcasting, WMOG changed its call sign to WSSI, and relaunched the following day as "92.7 SSI". [6]
