History

The station went on the air as WLGC on May 30, 1984. On July 17, 1989, the station changed its call sign to WTCV. However, they returned to the WLGC callsign on April 26, 1993.[3]

On January 13, 2014, concurrent with WLGC-FM's rebranding as "Kool Hits 105.7", WLGC became an All-news radio format and was rebranded as "Kool Hits 105.7 NewsChannel". In addition to local news, the station also features news broadcasts from the Associated Press Radio Network and the Kentucky News Network.

At the request of licensee Greenup County Broadcasting, the Federal Communications Commission cancelled WLGC's over the air broadcasting license on February 1, 2017.[4] The former AM station is still available as an online only feed from WLGC's website and smartphone app.

gollark: I used to, I'm actually reading the potatOS one.
gollark: Or "For users who are citizens of the European Union, we will now be requesting permission before initiating organ harvesting.", though I really don't see the problem.
gollark: Maybe it's the "You also agree that your soul is forfeit to me." line in the privacy policy though.
