WUHU

WUHU (107.1 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a Top 40 (CHR) format. The station is licensed to Smiths Grove, Kentucky, USA, and it serves the Bowling Green area of south central Kentucky. The station is currently owned by Forever Communications, Inc. and features programming from ABC Radio.

History

The station was assigned the call letters WBLG on November 1, 1985. On March 15, 2001, the station changed its call letters to the current WUHU.

During the 1990s, until March 2001, the station was branded as G-107, the Gator. The station often competed with Lebanon, Tennessee-licensed WRVW (107.5 FM) in Nashville for listener allegiances due to that station's strong signal strength in southern Kentucky, as well as Bowling Green's 60-mile proximity to Nashville.

The current format and "WUHU" branding were introduced on April 1, 2001, after a weekend stunt in which the station played the same three songs (each of which featured the word "woo-hoo") repeatedly.
