History

edit

The station first signed on June 3, 2008, according to their public file. [5] Their original call sign was WBOJ, which they used until 2009.

Each year in early November, WLTC flips to an all-Christmas music format. In 2019, the station was the first station (not counting those stunting) to flip to Christmas music for the season, doing so at roughly the same time as 2018's first-in-the-nation flip, WTRV in Grand Rapids, Michigan.[6]
