Programming

The station signed on as WEXI on September 1, 1965, originally at 103.1fm, and licensed to nearby Roanoke. The WXKE calls on 102.9fm (previously at 103.9-FM) eventually replaced the WEXI callsign. On February, 2004, WXKE dropped its simulcast with sister WXTW and changed formats to Standards as "The River."

WXKE was purchased, along with its sister stations by the Summit City Radio Group in July, 2004. The standards "River" format drifted over to sister WGL 1250-AM and WXKE relaunched as Classic Hits "Mike-FM." In 2006, the station abandoned its Classic Hits format and flipped formats to a simulcast of sister WGL AM under the call sign WWGL. Within a few months, call letters were changed again to WGL-FM, with the city of license Huntington, Indiana.
