Former "Kool 95.7" logo

The station began broadcasting December 27, 1999,[2] airing Christmas music, beginning its oldies format in January 2000.[5] The station's format would later shift to classic hits. Two decades later in February 2020, WSEY changed its format and branding as Sky 95.7 broadcasting an adult contemporary format. WSEY has recently applied for the call letters WURX, to be effective on July 1, 2025.

On July 1, 2025, WURX changed their format from adult contemporary to classic rock, branded as "95.7 The Rock".[6]
