The station went on the air July 16, 1974 as WCGR-FM, a simulcast of middle-of-the-road station WCGR (1550 AM).[2] It became WFLC in 1975[3] and dropped the WCGR simulcast in favor of country music;[4] the call letters stood for "Wayne Finger Lakes Country."[5] The call letters changed to WLKA on May 15, 1989. On February 19, 1996, the station changed its call sign to WMHX; the station then changed to WISY on March 1, 1998, to WMAX-FM on July 30, 1999, back to WISY on August 2, 1999. and to the current WVOR on June 27, 2006.[6] The WVOR call sign was "parked" on 102.3 after the station that held that call sign, a heritage Rochester FM station now known as WDVI, changed its call sign and format in 2006. WVOR now has an HD 2 channel, an oldies format.[7]
