History

In February 1995, Mark J. Langston applied to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for a construction permit for a new broadcast radio station. The FCC granted this permit on August 8, 1995, with a scheduled expiration date of February 8, 1997. [4] The new station was assigned call sign "WAOG" on August 8, 1995. [1] The call sign was changed to "WVIL" on November 2, 1995. [1] After several modifications, construction and testing were completed in February 1998 and the station was granted its broadcast license on May 8, 1998. [5]

In December 2008, Mark J. Langston reached a deal to sell WVIL to Larry Bostwick through his LB Sports Productions LLC holding company for $180,000. Bostwick had already been operating the station for several years under a local marketing agreement. The FCC approved the deal on February 3, 2009, and the transaction was completed on February 6, 2009. [6]
