History

In November 1972, the station signed on as WTAI-FM with an adult contemporary music format. It briefly aired a beautiful music format in 1978. Then on July 10, 1978, it changed its call sign to WLLV, and its format to Contemporary Christian music. On February 24, 1984, the call sign was switched to WVTI, and the format flipped to CHR. [3]

On December 15, 1989, the station changed call signs again, becoming WAOA, and changed its format to Hot AC. It adjusted to regular AC in 1996, then back to CHR in 2002, a year after the station was bought by Cumulus. [3] WAOA became the current WAOA-FM on June 29, 2000, when sister A.M. station WLZR became WAOA. [4]

WAOA-FM is often ranked #1, the most-listened-to radio station in the Cocoa Beach-Melbourne-Titusville Nielsen Audio market.
