WWNL was originally WILY, a station which primarily served an African American audience in the 1950s; in 1957 it became WEEP, a Top 40 station, before switching to the call letters WYRE in 1961. The station format changed to country music to complement its then FM Sister Station in the 1970s . By the 1990s it had switched to a news/talk format before being sold and flipping formats to Gospel Music as WPGR. In 1999 the format moved to 1510 , and 1080 changed to WWNL and a Christian format. Starting out as a music-based station, WWNL has added more talk and paid programming in recent years.
