History:

This station was spawned from the WEUP that was on 1600 kHz, and signed on in 2001 with the standard 10 kW days and 1 kW nights non-directional setup of most all other expanded band stations.  The original call sign was WEUV.  At the time it came on the air, WEUP and WEUV simulcast with a Gospel music format.
