The station was formerly owned by Jonathan Smith's Choice Radio Keys Corporation. Due to an inability to pay outstanding debts, the company assigned the licenses of WGMX and sister stations WFFG, WGMX, and WKEZ-FM to a trustee on June 4, 2018 to be sold for the benefit of creditors. Effective November 4, 2020, the trustee sold WKEY-FM to Spottswood Partners II, Ltd for $15,000 and the cancellation of a lease valued at $85,899.
The station went off-air in March, 2020 and on January 8, 2021, WKEY resumed broadcasting, branded as 93.7 NRG, a new non-stop dance music format. NRG Media of Florida is programming the station.
