WLLI (102.3 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a classic country music format. Licensed to Munfordville, Kentucky, United States, the station serves the Bowling Green area. The station is currently owned by Royse Radio, Inc.[1]
History[]
The station first signed on the air WCLU-FM on August 1, 1964.[2] The station's first callsign change took place on April 2, 1979, when the calls were changed to WLOC-FM to match that of then-sister station WLOC (AM).[3] It began broadcasting a Variety format, featuring a mix of country and adult contemporary music. The station became solely a Hot AC-formatted station when the callsign became WMCC on January 30, 1996.[3] It was acquired by Jacor in 1997. The station reverted to its original WCLU-FM calls in May 1998, two months after being acquired by its current owner, Royse Radio, Inc., to match that of Glasgow-based sister station WCLU-AM. The adult contemporary format remained with the station.
On April 1, 2021, WCLU-FM rebranded as "Beaver 102.3/98.5" and changed its call sign to WBVA, using similar imaging to Forever Communications's WBVR-FM in Bowling Green.
On February 4, 2022 WBVA changed their format from country to a simulcast of classic country-formatted WLYE-FM 94.1 FM Glasgow, branded as "Willie Country" under new WLLI call letters.[4]
