WHTI began in 1979 as WAXT "97 Country" located at a former truck terminal on West State Road 28 in Alexandria and was founded by Bellefontaine, Ohio-based Triplett Broadcasting which fell into bankruptcy in the mid-1980s prompting the sale of the station.

WHTY (as WWWO with a rock format) began as a construction permit for a Hardford City FM station in the late 1960s but never came on the air initially due the financial difficulties of the former WBMP in Elwood (now WURK) which was to have founded that station,hence it remained dormant (and silent) until 1986.
