History
On August 16, 1961, the station first
signed on as WAFS. It became WKOL in 1967 and WBUG in 1990. The WVTL call sign
began to be used in 2004.
In late December 2009, WVTL switched to a
soft adult contemporary
format. Along with its FM translator station, WVTL was called "Lite 104.7 and 1570 AM". In late February 2016, the station adapted to a classic country format.
In October 2021, Roser Communications agreed to sell the station to Think Tank Media, owners of WENT.[4]
FM translator
In addition to the main AM station at 1570 kHz, WVTL is relayed by an
FM translator for those who prefer to listen in FM stereo. The FM translator frequency is used as the primary frequency for station branding
