History
[edit]The station went on the air as WHIC-FM on March 23, 1979.[4] Under ownership by Breckinridge County Broadcasting, it was an FM companion for variety-formatted WHIC (AM 1520), which had been on the air since 1968. In 1982, both WHIC AM and FM were acquired by Key Broadcasting, presided by Terry Forcht.[5]
Both WHIC AM and FM were simulcasting a country music format by 1994.[5] On May 24, 1995, the station changed its call sign to the current WULF.[4]
The station is briefly featured in the movie Elizabethtown where you can see their Marquis.
