The station was first licensed March 6, 1970.[1] WLWL uses airchecks from New York's WABC that feature the words "seventy-seven" in jingle form to promote its frequency of 770 kHz.
WLWL broadcasts only during daylight hours, to avoid interference with the WABC from New York, which has a Class A clear-channel license for the same frequency.
