History
The station signed on the air on June 9, 1970Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters"..[2] Its original call sign was WHIC-FM, the sister station of WHIC 1520 AM.[3] The stations were simulcast and owned by Breckinridge County Broadcasting. WHIC 1520 AM had come on the air two years earlier as a daytimer, required to go off the air at night. For listeners with FM radios, WHIC-FM was able to continue the stations' programming past sunset.
WHIC-AM-FM aired a full service format of local news and information, sports, country music and middle of the road music. In its early years, WHIC-FM was powered at 3,000 watts, a fraction of its current output. It could only be heard in Hardinsburg and adjacent communities.
In 1982, both WHIC 1520 and WHIC-FM 94.3 were acquired by Key Broadcasting, with Terry Forcht as president.[4] On May 24, 1995, WHIC-FM changed its call sign to the current WULF.[3] It began calling itself "The Wolf." It got a boost in power to 40,000 watts, extending its coverage to communities south and west of Louisville. WHIC 1520 was later taken silent.
