History

The station signed on as WEXI on September 1, 1965, originally at 103.1 FM, and licensed to nearby Roanoke. The WXKE calls on 102.9 FM (previously at 103.9 FM) eventually replaced the WEXI callsign. On February 2004, WXKE dropped its simulcast with sister WXTW and changed formats to Standards as "The River."

WXKE was purchased, along with its sister stations by the Summit City Radio Group in July 2004. The standards "River" format drifted over to sister WGL 1250 AM and WXKE relaunched as Classic Hits "Mike-FM." In 2006, the station abandoned its Classic Hits format and flipped formats to a simulcast of sister WGL AM under the call sign WWGL. Within a few months, call letters were changed again to WGL-FM, with the city of license Huntington, Indiana.

On April 1, 2010 WGL-FM changed their format from adult standards (simulcasting WGL 1250 AM) to Hot Adult Contemporary, branded as "V102.9". WGL (AM) continued broadcasting the "River" standards format as "1250 The River." The simulcast with the AM station returned on June 3, 2013, when both WGL-FM and WGL switched to an oldies format, including a morning show hosted by former WLYV and WQHK-FM disc jockey Rick Hughes, as well as an afternoon show with Pat White carried over from WGL AM's standards format. As part of the change, Delilah was dropped from the WGL-FM lineup.
