History:: The Uchee Pines Institute, a non-profit "health, wellness and educational facility" in rural Seale, Alabama, first applied for a new noncommercial station licensed to Hurtsboro on 91.5 MHz in March 2022, but the application was initially denied by the FCC for unspecified reasons. The original application would have put the transmitter site roughly halfway between Tuskegee and Eufaula along County Road 89, just north of US-84 and the town of Midway. The application called for 9.5 kW and a peculiarly directional antenna pattern. The application was refiled again, and granted in late November 2022. In the application(s) it was noted that the programming would be Christian Religious from Three Angels Broadcasting Network (3ABN).

The call sign WHGR was applied for and granted to the station on 5 May 2023. In December 2023 the station was granted a modification to move to a transmitter site due south of Tuskegee near the rural community of Davisville, on US-29, with 51 kW non-directional.

No action on the permit was observed until another modification was granted on 21 November 2025, for 3 kW, directional, from a site north of Sehoy Lake in rural northeastern Bullock County, not far from the original permitted site. Interestingly, the Uchee Pines website said the station launched on 17 November, four days before the current permit was granted, although it's likely the permit was held up due to a government shutdown that had only ended shortly before these changes were granted. A license to cover was filed on 28 November 2025.
