In the 1950s stations call sign was WTPS owned by the Time-Picayune Newspaper and affiliated with the Mutual Broadcasting system. It then became WYLD. WYLD was a very successful Urban Contemporary outlet in the 1960s and 1970s before it shifted its format to sister station WYLD-FM. The AM would later evolve to a community-oriented Urban Adult Contemporary format in the 1970s to its current format in the 1990s.
