History

WLKR-FM signed on in 1962, with the AM counterpart starting in 1968. The station was founded by Port Clinton, Ohio resident Robert W. Reider, who eventually started and operated WLKR AM/FM, WRWR in Port Clinton, WAWR in Bowling Green, and WKTN in Kenton, all via his "Ohio Radio Incorporated" banner.

Eventually, WLKR AM/FM were sold over to Firelands Broadcasting, headed first by James Westerhold, and later David Mehling. Both stations were then sold to the Elyria, Ohio-based Elyria-Lorain Broadcasting Co. in February 2002. WLKR has since maintained its' local presence, while the music programming was first streamlined into a traditional adult contemporary. It assumed an adult album alternative format in March 2007.

WLKR also now supplies newscasts to both WLKR (AM) and WKFM.
