In 1986, the station signed on as WHOF. It was owned by Walker Heart of Florida Broadcasting, and the station was licensed in Wildwood, Florida but had a studio in Leesburg, Florida. In 1987, the station was sold to Jim Patrick, operated as WMZY, and played Contemporary Christian music. It changed to WHOF in 1988 and offered Christian talk and teaching programming. In 2001 the station was purchased by the Senior Broadcasting Corporation. For a time it concentrated on Adult Standards music, but in the 2000s, the focus switched to Soft Oldies of the 1960s, '70s, and '80s. As of 2002, WVLG played "a lot more Paul Simon and Bruce Springsteen than Frank Sinatra and Duke Ellington." In 2011, the station was sold for $750,000 to Villages Communications. References
