The station first signed on the air at 94.5 MHz on August 7, 1965 as WCHR with a religious format. (The call letters referred to Christ.) But after 33 years, that all changed when Nassau Broadcasting Partners bought the station. November 10, 1997 saw the beginning of things to come when the FM station began to simulcast its programming on its co-owned AM station, WCHR 920 AM, in preparation for a format switch. On February 27, 1998, 94.5 FM started stunting with construction sound effects. On March 2, 1998 94.5 became "New Jersey's Oldies Station." The call letters WNJO were assigned on March 26, 1998.
