[edit] History

WYPW signed on as WLRX on December 16, 1991 (the calls for the construction permit granted in 1990 had been WXJG, but the station was never on the air with those calls). WLRX broadcast ABC Radio/SMN's StarStation adult contemporary format under the name "Star 96," then segued to a Hot AC direction with local DJs as "Magic 95.7." It was during this time the station also changed hands from Indiana Star Broadcasting to Service Communications of South Bend. Service was purchased by Talking Stick who is now a part of the Federated Communications of Elkhart umbrella. The current calls and format were adopted at midnight on February 4, 2005.
