History
The WVLG Studio in the Spanish Springs Square of the Villages, Florida.

Originally licensed as WHOF in 1986 and was owned by Walker Heart of Florida Broadcasting and the station was licensed in Wildwood, Florida, but had a studio in Leesburg, Florida. In 1987, the station was sold to Jim Patrick and operated as WMZY and played contemporary Christian music and changed back to WHOF in 1988 and offered religious/talk programming. In 2001 the station was purchased by the Senior Broadcasting Corporation.

As of 2002, WVLG played "a lot more Paul Simon and Bruce Springsteen than Frank Sinatra and Duke Ellington."[3]

In 2011, the station was sold for $750,000 to Villages Communications.[4] The format previously mixed oldies and easy listening.
