History

The station signed on in September 1997 [2] as WGRI with an urban gospel format. After Gospel Radio International sold the station to the Educational Media Foundation, WGRI joined K-Love on October 1, 2001, [3] and changed its call letters to WAKL on October 29. [4] The station became WKMF on May 31, 2019, [4] after EMF moved the WAKL call sign to a station it had acquired in the Atlanta market. [5]

The station changed its call sign to WKVR on December 6, 2022, and to WLFN on October 10, 2024.
