location. The station's original frequency and call sign was WLXW/1380 which was moved to WHYL/960 in the early fifties, approximately 1952 or 53. 1965 The Lewis family hired Jim Frank from Iowa, a.k.a. Jack O. Lantern, to "modernize" the station. WIOO was set to start broadcasting and it was obvious they planned on being a "rocker". WHYL was changed from to a "hot" Top 40 station and some of the personnel was changed. Jack O. Lantern became the morning man and the station became a hit maker in the area. Lantern was awarded a "gold" record by Matty "Humdinger" Singer from Universal records in Philadelphia for breaking and promoting a new record called "Oh Sweet Pea" to number one in the country. Lantern remained with the station until he formed a partnership with George Gardiner, the owner of Carlisle Cable Co. and together they built a brand new radio station called WEEO in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania. New logos like "The Smile Guys" were created by Lantern to bolster its new popularity. 1966: The current morning show host, Ben Barber, joined the station (pictured in The Channel 96 WHYL Smile Guys, last head shot at the bottom) as the afternoon drive personality. 1980: Format flip to country.

March 6, 2004: Route 81 drops oldies format for locally-originated adult standards. February 14, 2005: Flipped format to talk format in an effort to compete with long-time talker WHP 580. November 24, 2005: Began another format flip, stunting with an all-Christmas music format. January 2, 2006: The station assumed the Adult standards format, still on the air today. January 15, 2007: Royal Broadcasting, Inc. signs an asset purchase agreement to buy the station and begins to operate it under an LMA. January 14, 2008: Royal Broadcasting, Inc. does not renew its LMA because of the untimely processing of the request by the Federal Communications Commission partly due to a petition to deny filed on the license renewal. Ownership defaults back to Route 81 Radio. Petition to deny rejected by FCC and station is LMA'd to Trustworthy Radio LLC on July 15, 2008,
