History

The station's construction permit was granted by the FCC on November 22, 1991 under the callsign of WQEG. The station's callsign was changed to WTCO-FM on November 13, 1992, two months after it was acquired by Heartland Communications on September 4.

The station finally took to the air sometime in 1993.[3] The station's callsign was changed once more, to its current WHVE on July 1, 1995,[4] just after it was acquired by its current owner, Shoreline Communications.[1]

It first broadcast a hot country format upon signing on. The station switched to an Adult contemporary format sometime in 1998–99, and was later switched to Classic Hits.[1]
