  ## History
  
  WJZT began broadcasting on September 7, 2003, a year after the station was granted a construction permit by the Federal Communications Commission. It originally aired a smooth jazz format and was owned by Kathy and Ernie Petrone. In 2006, WJZT Communications, LLC, a division of Horizon Broadcasting, acquired the station for $2.3 million.
  
  After a brief stint as oldies "Cruisin' 97.9", WJZT flipped to sports on December 1, 2010, as "Tallahassee's Sports Monster", using ESPN Radio programming.
  
  Horizon Broadcasting reached a deal to sell WTSM and WHLG in Port St. Lucie to Radio Training Network, which owns The Joy FM regional network of Christian radio stations, for $1.3 million in May 2021. The sale was consummated on August 31, 2021.
  
  On September 1, 2021, WTSM changed their format from sports to contemporary Christian, branded as "The Joy FM".
