History
In February 1995, Mark J. Langston applied to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for a construction permit for a new broadcast radio station. The FCC granted this permit on August 8, 1995, with a scheduled expiration date of February 8, 1997. The new station was assigned call sign "WAOG" on August 8, 1995. The call sign was changed to "WVIL" on November 2, 1995. After several modifications, construction and testing were completed in February 1998 and the station was granted its broadcast license on May 8, 1998.

In December 2008, Mark J. Langston reached a deal to sell WVIL to Larry Bostwick through his LB Sports Productions LLC holding company for $180,000. Bostwick had already been operating the station for several years under a local marketing agreement. The FCC approved the deal on February 3, 2009, and the transaction was completed on February 6, 2009.
