102.3 FM signed on as
WGUS-FM in late 1967. The station was the FM sister to 1380 WGUS (now
WNRR North Augusta, South Carolina) and simulcasted the
country format that the AM had from 6 a.m. to 12 midnight under the "Big Gus" nickname. The station went to 24-hour operations in 1970. In early 1973, WGUS-FM's simulcast with the AM was replaced with an automated
beautiful music format and the station became known as "102G". This lasted until the late 70s, when the station switched back to country. As of 1989, the station continued to simulcast 1380 WGUS. The station started advertising the night before by following people on Twitter, and announced "the return of Y in the CSRA". The station kicked off its launch on 102.3 by playing 5000 songs in a row commercial-free. When competitor
WHHD attempted a 5000 songs promotion, Y102.3 doubled the launch to 10,000 songs in a row. At the conclusion of the promotion the station introduced advertising. The station is owned by
Aloha Station Trust, the entity formed to operate and sell the former
Clear Channel Communications stations that were required to be divested for the Clear Channel privatization transaction. With the launch of the new format, Aloha Station Trust applied to the FCC for the former Y-105 callsign,
WZNY. The callsign change was approved by the FCC. On November 8, 2013, WZNY stunted with a simulcast of WEKL before assuming its Classic Rock format as, once again
Eagle 102.3 as 105.7 flipped to Country as "G105.7" (and would later bring back the “105.7 The Bull” branding). On November 21, 2013, WZNY changed its callsign to WEKL. On March 3, 2019, iHeart announced it would sell 4 stations in its Aloha Station Trust, including WEKL, to the Educational Media Foundation in exchange for 6 translators already operated by iHeart. The station is expected to flip to one of EMF's national networks (
K-Love,
Air 1, or
K-Love Classics) upon the sale's closure. On March 11, 2019, WEKL began simulcasting on WLUB-HD2 and W292EE and rebranded as Eagle 106.3. The two stations simulcasted until May 31, 2019, when the sale closed, which at that point EMF flipped the station to their "K-Love" branding. ==Former logo==
