WLHI (90.3 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a contemporary Christian music format. Licensed to Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, the station serves the Allentown/Bethlehem area of the Lehigh Valley region of eastern Pennsylvania. The station is currently owned by Four Rivers Community Broadcasting Corporation.

History

[edit]

On February 8, 2013, it was announced that the then-WXLV was sold by Lehigh Carbon Community College to Four Rivers Community Broadcasting Corporation for $705,000. The transaction was consummated on March 27, 2013. The new owner turned the station into a simulcast of Sellersville-based WBYO, also known as Word FM. WXLV went silent for approximately two weeks at the end of March before the format officially changed.[2]

On April 4, 2013, the station changed its call sign to the current WLHI and began simulcasting Word FM.
