Eariy years

WNLI's history broadcasting to State College on the 94.5 FM frequency includes operating under the call signs WGGY (1991–1992), WFGI (1992–2001), adult contemporary WLTS (2001–2006), and WSMO (February–August 2006). The call sign was officially changed to WBHV-FM on August 29, 2006. [3]

WNLI

On December 30, 2022, it was announced that the station's top 40/CHR format would move to WRSC (1390 AM) as "Pop Radio" within days. [4] On January 3, 2023, WBHV-FM dropped its top 40/CHR format and began stunting. [5] The call sign was changed to WNLI on March 26, 2023. [6] After taking the station silent that June following the loss of its programming source, [7] JFLIV agreed to sell WNLI to the Educational Media Foundation (EMF) in September 2023 as part of a $200,000 deal that also saw EMF transfer translator station W296CD (107.1 FM) in Jonestown to JFLIV. EMF already owned K-Love station WKPA (107.9 FM) in the State College area, and as such, the station is expected to change to their Air 1 network upon sale closure. [8]
