The station signed on the air in February 1948 as WGGG. It started with 250 watts of power. The station was owned by Alachua County Broadcasting Company.[1] The offices, studios, transmitter and tower were located near the Gainesville Regional Airport at 1230 Waldo Road, northeast of downtown Gainesville.
On November 13, 2017, the station re-branded as The Goat.[2] (Goat stands for the "Greatest of All Time", referring to the top stars of their sport.) WGGG had a sports radio format, airing programming from the CBS Sports Radio Network.
The station flipped to Christmas music from November 2021 until June 2022.[3] It was planning a new format and played the holiday tunes until the new sound was ready.
The station eventually flipped to urban contemporary music in October 2022 under ownership of William Johnson's Urban One Broadcasting Network, LLC. In 2023, it switched its callsign to WRBD.
