History.
The station began broadcasting in May 1963 and held the call sign WEFA. In 1980, the
station's call sign was changed to WXLC, which stands for "Across Lake County". The X illustrates "across." Its 2 towers are clearly visible on Route 120, east of US 41. WXLC was also used on US Cable Channel Guide and the Lakes Cablevision Inc. Electronic Prevue Guide throughout the late 80s and early 90s in Lake County, while McHenry County used WXET, later WAIT, then WZSR.
WXLC was an affiliate of Dan Ingram's "Top 40 Satellite Survey" in the mid 1980s,
