WLLF

The station was first issued a construction permit in March 1984. It signed on in January 1985 as WKTX. It was purchased in August 1990 by Mercer County Broadcasting, headed by Patrick Engrao. For a time, this station was co-owned with WKTX in Cortland, Ohio.

The WLLF call letters originated in 1991, when the station simulcast Youngstown rock station WNCD "The Wolf", then at 106.1 MHz. The call letters have remained on the station since, including when it was a Smooth Jazz outlet.

In April 2010, Cumulus ended the station's long run as "96.7 The River", a satellite-fed adult contemporary format and launched a new sports format featuring ESPN Radio with the Pittsburgh Pirates and Pittsburgh Penguins radio networks. The station also carries a local sports show originating at sister station WPIC 790 AM in Sharon, Pennsylvania. WLLF also carries a variety of local high school and college sports.

On January 2, 2013, WLLF switched its network to CBS Sports Radio, ending its affiliation with ESPN Radio.

Sale to Family Life Ministries, move of sports to WWIZ

On June 30, 2026, Cumulus Media announced that it would sell WLLF and rhythmic CHR-formatted sister station WWKL in Hershey/Harrisburg, Pennsylvania to Family Life Ministries for $2.25 million, with the buyers planning to flip the station's format to their in-house Christian AC-formatted Family Life Network. WLLF's format will move to sister station WWIZ, which had been running satellite-driven music formats since 2017; WLLF was chosen as the license to spin off because of WWIZ's stronger signal into Ohio, which is not in Family Life's territory.
