WIVY started broadcasting on 1050 kilohertz in August 1948. Its initial power was 1,000 watts, daytime only. It was affiliated with MacGregor, World & Hearst's INS. [3] In 1971 it held a construction permit to move to 1280 kHz and in increase power from 1,000 watts daytime-only to 5,000 watts daytime-only. [4] It also spawned WIVY-FM/102.9 in 1965.

When WIVY changed calls to WEXI, WIVY-FM remained under its old callsign. WIVY/1280 aired a contemporary music format. It switched to all-news by 1978. [5] WEXI became WXOZ circa 1985. [6]

Stemming from a 1999 FCC investigation, Willis was fined over $84,000 in fines from the regulatory agency. Partially to satisfy this debt, Willis agreed to surrender the licenses of 4 stations: WSVE, WCRY, KVLA and KLRG. Of those 4 stations, KLRG is still on the air under different ownership. [8]
