Station history

As WEZV

The station's original call letters were WEZV from July 1979 to August 1990.^[2] WEZV aired a beautiful music format that achieved high ratings in adult demographics in Fort Wayne.

As WJLT

The station's second call letters were WJLT from August 1990 to March 1994. WJLT, "Lite 101.7," was an effort to evolve the station's beautiful music format to soft adult contemporary, which met with only limited success due to competitor WAJI 95.1's massive ratings with its AC format.

As WLDE

As WLDE, it originally broadcast oldies music, but slowly evolved into a classic hits format as their main playlist dropped pre-1964 music in favor of music up to 1979. Beginning in 2008, 1980s music was added to the playlist as 1960s music slowly began getting phased out.
