History

The station signed on for the first time in 1956 under ownership of Hopkins County Broadcasting. The station was acquired by local businessman Conway Smith in 1958. The station was broadcasting a rock format for many years until it switched to an adult contemporary format around 1982.^[3]

The station's programming was simulcast over WTTL-FM (106.9 MHz) for a few years since its September 1992 launch until it became a separate entity in 1995.^[3] WTTL, along with seven other stations, was purchased by Commonwealth Broadcasting Corporation in 1997.

Switch to Classic hits and the launch of an FM translator

On December 20, 2016, WTTL changed their format from ESPN sports to classic hits, branded as "Classic Hits 103.5," which would also be simulcast on the station's then-newly launched FM translator W278CK (103.5 FM) in Madisonville.^[4]
