WLNK
WLNK (107.9 MHz, "107.9 The Link") is a 100,000 watt radio station in Charlotte, North Carolina, and serves the Charlotte metropolitan area. WLNK airs a personality-driven Hot Adult Contemporary format. Its studios are located west of Uptown Charlotte and shares a transmitter tower near Dallas with former television partner WBTV.
Current weekday programming includes Bob & Sheri, Kelly Meyers, Matt & Ramona, and Jennifer Steel.
The station was owned by Philadelphia-based Lincoln Financial Group (which took over Jefferson-Pilot Broadcasting in 2006) until 2008. The WLNK callsign predates its previous owner and thus, similarities to the name "Lincoln" are coincidental. On November 12, 2007, as Lincoln Financial began to liquidate its broadcasting assets, Greater Media announced plans to acquire WLNK, along with sister stations WBT and WBT-FM, for $100 million, a deal which was finalized on January 31, 2008.
WLNK broadcasts in the HD Radio format.
History
WBT-FM was first heard on the 107.9 frequency in 1961, but this was actually the second incarnation of WBT-FM. Those call letters were used on WBT's first FM service at 99.9 MHz from 1947 to 1954. Clyde McLean was the original announcer on WBT-FM, and the station was purposed for "Storecasting" or playing background music for businesses in the Charlotte area. Very little advertising was sold on the station, and the company's television station, WBTV was becoming profitable for the company. For that reason, Jefferson Standard Broadcasting Company decided to abandon WBT-FM.

Shock Me Into Love
by: LenkaAh ah oh
Ah ah oh
Just when you think that it will never get you
It comes and throws a lightening bolt right at you
Before you know and now your pulse is racin'
And now your blood in runnin' hot like crazy
Oh oh oh ah ah oh
Give it everything, everything that ya got
Oh oh oh ah ah oh
Give it everything, everything that you've got
No, I never knew that I could feel this way (Feel this way)
No, I never had it running through by veins (Through my veins)
No, I never thought that it could be enough
Suddenly you, you shock me into love
Into love
It's waiting for you right around the corner
It doesn't have the decency to warn ya
It comes along taps you on the shoulder
You fall into the arms that now will hold ya
Oh oh oh ah ah oh
Give it everything, everything that ya got
Oh oh oh ah ah oh
Give it everything, everything that you've got
No, I never knew that I could feel this way (Feel this way)
No, I never had it running through by veins (Through my veins)
No, I never thought that it could be enough
Suddenly you, you shock me into love
Ah ah oh
Into love
Ah ah oh
Electricity
Shoots from you to me
Electricity
Shoots from you to me
No, I never knew that I could feel this way (Feel this way)
No, I never had it running through by veins (Through my veins)
No, I never thought that it could be enough
Suddenly you, you shock me into love
No, I never knew that I could feel this way (Feel this way)
No, I never had it running through by veins (Through my veins)
No, I never thought that it could be enough
Suddenly you, you shock me into love
Ah ah oh
Into love
Ah ah oh
