After a relatively brief change to a Top 40 format from 1977 to 1981, the station changed its call sign to WCKK and aired the Music Of Your Life pop standards format. From 1987 to 1992, the station held the call letters WLKE,[3] initially simulcasting 1170 WLKD as "The Lake", playing music from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.[4] The call letters were changed to WXOL under the ownership of area disc jockey Steve Rose from 1992 to 1995,[3] and the station was branded as "Excellent Oldies" during this period, airing an oldies format.[5]
