History

For much of the 1970s and 1980s, WXVW originally ran an adult standards music format. The station originally broadcasts Chicago Cubs baseball games during its early days.

Under ownership of Cumulus Media, WXVW formerly simulcasted sports formatted WQKC 93.9 FM as "The Ticket", until that station changed to a classic hits music format under the call sign WLCL on November 20, 2008. [3]

On August 2, 2010, WQKC and WLCL went silent after Cumulus decided to cease operations in the Louisville market. [4]

On October 3, 2011, WQKC returned to the air, again with sports, branded as "The Sports Buzz". [5] Cumulus would formally sell the station to its programmer, Ryan Media, in November 2011. [6]

On May 21, 2013, WQKC changed their call letters to WXVW, which were the station's original call letters from its original sign on date (September 16, 1961-same as WLKY-TV) until 1997, when the call sign changed to WAVG.

Effective December 1, 2020, Ryan Media sold WXVW and translator W241CK to Word Broadcasting Network, Inc.
