History
The station was assigned the call letters WBLG on November 1, 1985, when the FCC first issued the construction permit for the station. The station actually signed on the air 13 months later, on December 1, 1986. On May 4, 1987, the station was purchased by Hilltopper Broadcasting, which at the time also owned WBGN.
In the station's first 14 years on the air, it played an Adult contemporary format. Hourly nation news updates were provided by NBC News Radio during that time period. During the 1990s, until March 2001, the station was branded as "G-107, the Gator."
On March 15, 2001, the station changed its call letters to the current WUHU. The current Top-40 format and "WUHU" branding were introduced on April 2, 2001, after a weekend stunt during the preceding weekend (March 31-April 1, 2001), in which the station played the same three songs (each of which featured the word "woo-hoo") repeatedly. Forever Communications acquired the station on December 31, 2002. As a Top 40-formatted station, WUHU often competed with WRVW of Lebanon, Tennessee for listener allegiances due to Bowling Green's 60-mile proximity to the Nashville area.
Programming
Along with its music programming, the station is the local home of the American Top 40 and Weekend Top 30. Weather forecasts aired on the station are provided by NBC television affiliate WNKY.
