The construction was completed and the license was granted on January 11, 1968 (January 11, 1968).[2] In its early years, it mostly simulcast the programming on WMLP 1380 AM. It later had an automated country music format.

The FM station's call sign was changed to WOEZ-FM on October 1, 1979.[2] It began broadcasting an easy listening format. Then on September 23, 1994, the call sign was changed to WVLY, followed by a change to WVLY-FM on January 22, 2001.
