History
The station went on the air on June 15, 1968 as WKDR. It became WNWX on June 1, 1993. On April 14, 1995, the station changed its call sign to WZBZ; on January 23, 1998 to WDOT; on July 15, 1999 to WGLY; on February 23, 2001 to WLFE; on April 23, 2002 to WTWK and on January 15, 2017 to WPLB.
A & J Radio acquired WTWK from Radio Broadcasting Services (a subsidiary of Northeast Broadcasting) for $140,000 on October 24, 2016. At the time of the sale, the station was running a business news format supplied by Bloomberg Radio. In January 2017, after briefly simulcasting WZXP (a country music station operated by A & J but owned by Radioactive, LLC), the station introduced its present oldies format, which was transferred from former sister stations WCAT and WRSA.
