History

WSUX-FM 98.3 signed on the air in February 1972, carrying the programming of WSUX (1280 AM).

Previous studios were located along U.S. Route 13 in Seaford, Delaware. The station originally transmitted at 98.3 FM before moving to 98.5 FM in 1998. Previous formats included an easy listening format with call signs WSUX-FM (Sussex County) and WECY-FM (Easy).

On August 17, 2018, the station's WGBG-FM call sign and classic rock format moved from 98.5 FM to WKHI (107.7 FM) in Fruitland, Maryland, and 98.5 continued to simulcast 107.7 under a new WKHI call sign, until a new format was announced.^[2] The station changed its call sign again on August 24, 2018, to WUSX.

On September 17, 2018, WUSX split from its simulcast with WGBG-FM and began stunting towards a new format to launch on September 21, 2018, at 5 pm.^[3] On September 21, 2018 at 5 p.m., WUSX flipped to a gold-based country music format, branded as "US 98.5".

On November 30, 2021, WUSX was purchased by Mark Giuliani's Datatech Digital, LLC and changed format on December 1 from country to a simulcast of talk-formatted WGMD from Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.^[4]
