The format didn't last long; at Noon on May 13, 1999, in the middle of Sarah McLachlan's "Building a Mystery", the station became WEJM "Jammin' Gold", playing a blend of urban oldies from the '60s to the '80s, disco, classic dance tunes, and some '70s pop hits. The first song on "Jammin' Gold" was "Back Stabbers" by The O'Jays.
