[edit] History
In 1964, the station signed on for the first time as WHLS-FM. Featuring a simulcast of the AM station and then later a beautiful music format, it was soon renamed WSAQ, and adopted a country music format in spring 1982. In 2000 Hanson Communications sold 1590 WHLX, 1380 WPHM, and 96.9 WBTI to Liggett Communications. Liggett, who was also in the process of acquiring Hanson's competitor, WHLS-AM and WSAQ-FM, decided to co-locate all five stations at 808 Huron Street, which was the main base of operations for WHLS and WSAQ. All five stations now belong to Radio First, and have been since 2001.
