[edit] History

The current WLVQ began operations in 1959 as WTVN-FM and used those call letters until 1966, at which time the station became WBUK and started playing adult contemporary. The station switched formats and started playing "Beautiful Music" (easy listening) in 1969. The station reverted to the WTVN-FM call letters in 1974, but continued to play "Beautiful Music."

The station adopted its current identity on February 14, 1977. The first song they played was; 'New Kid In Town' by The Eagles.

WTVN (AM) still exists, but is owned by Clear Channel Communications, and is no longer affiliated with WLVQ. WLVQ was operated by Clear Channel for a number of years before its sale to Infinity Broadcasting (now CBS Radio). In October 2006 CBS announced an agreement to sell the station to Wilks Broadcast Group, LLC.

WLVQ airs the Wags & Elliott morning show. Other popular personalities include Dave Man, The Joe Show, and Archie.
