The station first signed on as WLKR (AM), the AM side to the FM station. It became WVAC on January 28, 1991 (for the "VACationland"), and switched back to WLKR on May 30, 2002. WLKR carried Westwood One's Adult Standards format until December 2004, when it switched to oldies music (Westwood One's "Oldies Channel" format). The format changed to sports/talk in August 2006, programmed exclusively with ESPN Radio as "ESPN 1510 WLKR".

WLKR's current classic hits format was adopted in late August 2010.
