History

The station signed on in 2000 as WGCX with a locally-programmed contemporary Christian format. While it was still a construction permit, the station had the call signs WAFN, WZEW, and WGCX-FM. [2]

In October 2013, 550 AM, Inc., sold WKFP to Educational Media Foundation for $1.75 million. [3] The sale was consummated on December 23, 2013, and shortly thereafter, it began carrying the national K-LOVE network.

The station changed its call sign on July 21, 2015, to the current WPLV to represent the words Pensacola and K-Love.
