WOCL (105.9 FM) is a Classic Hits formatted broadcast radio station in Orlando, Florida, owned by CBS Radio. The station airs a classic hits format, focusing on music from 1970 (with a few songs per day from the 1960s) to 1989 with the core being the late 1970s and 1980s with even some 1990s. It is similar to the format used by sister station WCBS-FM in New York. Its studios are located in Maitland and the transmitter tower is in Orange City.
The station can be heard not only in the Orlando area, but also as far away as the Space Coast in Brevard County, and the eastern shores of Central Florida. To the North, the station can be heard up to Jacksonville. Sunny can also be heard as far west as the Nature Coast of Citrus and Hernando Counties. Sunny FM is also one of the few Orlando stations to cover Ocala with a decent signal.
The first format on the 105.9 FM frequency was Country, which signed on from DeLand in 1965 with the callsign WOOO, which would change to WDLF three years later. It was sold in 1977 and re-branded as WELE-FM as a sister station of WELE in South Daytona, Florida.
In 1986, the format was shifted to Oldies and the callsign changed to WOCL. Initially called "Class 105.9", it was renamed "Cool 105.9" in February 1988.
