During these years, the station had an billboard near Indianapolis' Weir Cook Airport (now Indianapolis International Airport) which told passing motorists, "While you're away, we'll be here with your WIFE". After Burden later ran afoul of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Star Stations of Indiana was denied its license renewal application for WIFE in 1976. Burden surrendered WIFE to Indianapolis Broadcasting, a local group that had challenged Burden's ownership of the station seven years earlier. The new owners took control on June 1 under a new license, but retained the Top 40 format. An era of frequent call letter changes (WMLF, WTUX, WTLC) and formats (Music of Your Life, Adult Standards, and Urban Oldies) began in 1984 and continued into the 1990s. WTLC In late 1997, then-owner Panache sold the station to Emmis Communications. Emmis switched the format to Urban Gospel to sell in combination with its Urban Contemporary station WTLC-FM. For a two-year period, the majority of programming on 1310 AM was syndicated from the Sheridan Broadcasting Gospel service and branded as "The Light". In January 2001, the station was purchased from Emmis by Radio One, now known as Urban One. The affiliation with Sheridan was dropped but the station retained the name "The Light". Syndicated host Erica Campbell is heard in mornings with Christian talk and teaching shows in middays and afternoons, some of which are paid brokered programming. The station returns to Urban Gospel music evenings and overnights.
