The station signed on the air on September 30, 1961, as WIFE-FM.[4] It was the FM counterpart to AM 1310 WIFE (now WIBC).[5] The station originally aired a middle of the road music format but later shifted to a beautiful music format in 1966.[6][7][8]

WFMS was originally an easy-listening station known as WIFE-FM. In 1976, the station switched to a beautiful music format as WYXR (“Your eXciting Radio”), but would eventually succumb to the popularity of FM talk radio in the early 1980s and become WIBC-FM, a full-time simulcast of WIBC (93.1 FM). On October 1, 1984, at Midnight, after stunting withcontemporary hits for several days as “B95”, the station flipped to country as “WFMS, The Hoosier Heartland”, branded as “95 WFMS”.
