The station signed on the air on October 26, 1988. It was the seventh station owned and operated by Family Life Communications (commonly referred to as FLR or Family Life Radio). It took the call sign WUFL. WUFL carried Family Life's Christian radio programming.
In November 2022, Family Life Radio announced would sell WUFL and its four FM translators to Relevant Radio, which is a Catholic broadcaster based in Wisconsin.

The sale to Relevant Radio was consummated on February 28, 2023, at a price of $3.1 million. On March 2, 2023, AM 1030 changed its call sign to WKEG. In June 2023, Family Life Radio announced it would be buying an FM station in Detroit, 93.1 WDRQ. The sale was completed and the WUFL call letters were reassigned to the Detroit FM station.
