History of 106.7 Lite FM
The station first aired its programs as WRVR on January 1, 1961. Originally, Riverside Church used to own it. The major shows of WRVR included classical music, jazz music, religious programs, and public affairs. With the passage of time, WRVR started focusing solely on jazz music. It offered jazz music full time. A large number of the audience followed it, but the rating was very low.
In 1974, Riverside Church decided to sell it. WNCN Listeners Guild discussed with Riverside Church to purchase WRVR and showed intentions to switch its programming from jazz music to classical. In the 1980s, when Viacom took over it, they changed its call letters to WKHK. They changed its format from classical music to country music, named “Kick 106.7 FM”. On January 23, 1984, Viacom once again changed its format and switched 106.7 into an MOR station. It also used new call letters WLTW and went on air with the branding of “Lite FM.”
