History

The station began broadcasting a soft rock format on August 6, 1982 when DJ Chuck Martin played the Beatles, "Here Comes the Sun" as the first song to launch Sunny 95. Originally, the call letters in the 1960s and 1970s were WVKO-FM, the FM simulcast of WVKO (AM).

Before the change to Soft Rock, this station had a short successful CHR/Urban format under the WVKO-FM branding. WVKO (AM) now airs a Progressive Talk format.
