History
The station signed on the air on June 12, 1956, under ownership of South Central Broadcasting Company of Campbellsville. Stock in the station's parent company was sold to then-mayor of Munfordville Jim Berry in 1960; Berry would sign on WLOC-FM four years later.Following Berry's death in 1992, the station was obtained at auction by South Central Holding Company, and went silent due to financial and legal difficulties. The station was purchased by the South Central Kentucky Broadcasting Company in February 1993.
On July 28, 1998, WLOC was acquired by Hart County Communications, while its FM sister station was acquired by Royse Radio of Glasgow in March of that year. WLOC's current owner, Forbis Communications, acquired the station in December 2003.
In January 2016, Forbis Communications purchased Central City-based low-powered FM translator W278AD from Heartland Ministries. A few months later, that translator, which was relocated to Munfordville, was relaunched as W269DD, to simulcast WLOC's AM radio programming at 101.7 megahertz.
