History[]
The first FCC license renewal online shows that in 1982 WLTN was licensed to Profile Broadcasting Company.[3] The station featured a News/Talk format throughout the 1990s and early 2000s until Sharp Broadcasting (who had acquired the station in 1999 from Profile)[4] transferred control (via local marketing agreement)[5] to Barry Lunderville and changed formats to oldies.[6] In June 2005 the license was transferred to Lunderville.[7]
