The station, most recently known as "FM 101.9," will serve as Orlando's home for Throwbacks, playing a collection of favorites from artists like 2Pac, Beyonce, Eminem, Notorious B.I.G., Usher and more.

"We're thrilled to announce the return of this heritage brand and once again give listeners a destination for the hottest Throwback music," said Audacy Orlando Regional President Claudia Menegus.

We trust that with Mijo's leadership, we will create a unique, nostalgic experience for music lovers in Orlando and for every generation to enjoy."

The station kicks off with 10,000 'JAMZ' in a row. Additional on-air announcements will be made in the coming weeks. Mijo also serves as Brand Manager and afternoon drive host for sister WPOW-FM (Power 96), Miami's home for Throwbacks, and Brand Manager of "Radio Libre 790" in Miami.
