The station is licensed to Lavonia, Georgia, United States. The station is currently owned by Georgia-Carolina Radiocasting Company.

On November 1, 1988, the call sign was changed back to WWRK-FM. On February 2, 2004, the call sign was changed to WSGC-FM with a country music format as "92.1 WSGC". On March 31, 2008, after 92.1 FM had already been granted permission to move and re-license to Lavonia, GA the call sign was changed to WLHR-FM. WLHR-FM signed on on May 15, 2008.

During the early morning hours of January 30, 2010, the WLHR-FM tower was toppled. The tower, which stood at 284 feet tall and was located on Georgia Highway 327, fell over.
