History

The station went on the air December 24, 1976 as WOLC, a religious station owned by Maranatha, Inc.. In August 2015, Maranatha agreed to sell WOLC to Draper Holdings Business Trust, owner of WBOC-TV, and took the station off the air on August 18. Draper moved WOLC's studios from Princess Anne to the Salisbury studios of WBOC-TV, using the space formerly occupied by the former WBOC radio ; it also announced that the station would introduce a format that, while not yet chosen, would include news, weather, and sports content from WBOC-TV. Draper also filed to change the station's call letters to WBOC-FM. The sale was completed on November 10, 2015 at a purchase price of $650,000; the change to WBOC-FM took effect at that time. The station returned to the air on November 20, and aired Christmas music without commercials through the holiday season. WBOC-FM launched its eventual adult contemporary format on December 31, 2015.
