History
editThe station began broadcasting as WLCK-FM, an FM companion of WLCK, Scottsville's first radio station. The station simulcasted WLCK's programming full time until 1986, when it became a Country music station.[1]: 145
The station was assigned these call letters by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on April 28, 1986,[2] per the request made by Danny Tabor, which owned the station with Joe Hite at that time.[1]: 145
The station would later switch to its current soft adult contemporary format at some time in the 2000s.
Programming
editIn addition to its usual soft AC music playlist, WVLE also broadcasts football and boys' and girls' basketball games involving the athletic programs of Allen County-Scottsville High School.[5]
The audio of WVLE is also heard on North Central Telephone Cooperative cable channel 6.[6]
