[edit] History
In the 1980s, the station played a country music format as WRCM-FM, "Country 98.7 FM". The station switched to an oldies format in 1989 as "Kool 98.7".
WKOO "Kool 98.7" played oldies for many years. On April 5, 2005, the format was switched to Westwood One soft adult contemporary ("Lite 98.7"), and the call letters were changed to WILT.[2] The WKOO letters and Westwood One oldies format moved to WANG-FM.[3] Starting July 24, 2006, "Will FM" played adult hits. As of March 31, 2008, the WILT letters and "Will FM" format were moved to the former WRQR in Wilmington.[4]
