Under ownership of Cumulus Media, WXVW formerly simulcasted sports formatted WQKC 93.9 FM as "The Ticket", until that station changed to a classic hits music format under the call sign WLCL on November 20, 2008.[2]

On August 2, 2010, WQKC and WLCL went silent after Cumulus decided to cease operations in the Louisville market.[3]

On May 21, 2013, WQKC changed their call letters to WXVW, which were the station's original call letters from its original sign on date (Sept. 16, 1961) until the mid 1990s, when the calls changed to WAVG(AM).
