The station signed on in August 1991, as WADU FM. It was owned by Virgie Hare du Treil, with studios in Laplace. WADU carried an easy listening adult standards format. It was only powered at 1,900 watts, a fraction of its current output. It flipped to smooth jazz as WSJZ on May 24, 2000. On June 6, 2002, it changed its call sign, becoming WXXM. It played active rock and carried the syndicated Opie & Anthony morning show briefly before switching to urban gospel as WPRF on April 21, 2003. As WPRF, the station's slogan was "New Orleans' Inspiration Station." The Program Director was Jojo Walker, whose experience included Morning Show Producer of the K. D. Bowe Morning Show at the Sheridan Gospel Network. He also held morning and afternoon drive time jobs at 98.5 WYLD FM in New Orleans, and positions at Mix 96 WBTP and 1380 WTMP in Tampa and 1080 WUFO in Buffalo, New York. On October 3, 2012, WPRF changed call letters to WGUO. On November 10, 2012, WGUO changed its format to classic country, branded as "Gumbo 94.9". The programming is aimed at both the New Orleans and Houma Thibodaux radio markets.
