History:: This station was spawned from sister station WVGG (AM), which got the construction permit first issued in August of 1990. The station wasn't put on the air until December 1993, but eventually debuted with a 6 kW signal airing Country music, same as the AM. JDL Corporation acquired the stations in 1998 for $220,000.

The format is satellite fed "Real Country", with an emphasis on country classics instead of today's country, along with local high school sports. The station also hosts gospel music on Sundays.

In late April 2025 it was announced that the station and its AM companion were being sold to Michael Hearndon's Buzzard Roost Broadcasting for $250,000. Radio Insight reported that Hearndon had been operating the stations via a time-brokerage agreement in January and had been also hosting the morning show on this station.
