History

[edit]

The first FCC license renewal online shows that in 1982 WLTN was licensed to Profile Broadcasting Company.[4] The station featured a news/talk format throughout the 1990s and early 2000s until Sharp Broadcasting (who had acquired the station in 1999 from Profile)[5] transferred control (via local marketing agreement)[6] to Barry Lunderville and changed formats to oldies.[7] In June 2005 the license was transferred to Lunderville.[8]
