The station was purchased and began broadcasting on October 26, 1988 as the seventh station owned and operated by Family Life Communications (commonly referred to as FLR or Family Life Radio), with the call sign WUFL.
In November 2022, it was announced Family Life Radio would sell WUFL and its four translators to Relevant Radio, which is a Catholic broadcaster. The deal included the land that houses WUFL's transmitter but not the call sign, which will be transferred to another Family Life Radio property.
The sale to Relevant Radio was consummated on February 28, 2023, at a price of $3.1 million. On March 2, 2023, the station changed its call sign to WKEG.
