WHVE (92.7 FM) is a radio station broadcasting an Adult Contemporary format. Licensed to Russell Springs, Kentucky, USA, the station is currently owned by Shoreline Communications, Inc.[2]
History
The station's construction permit was granted by the FCC on November 22, 1991 under the callsign of WQEG. The station's callsign was changed to WTCO-FM on November 13, 1992, two months after it was acquired by Heartland Communications on September 4.
The station finally took to the air sometime in 1993.[3] The station's callsign was changed once more, to its current WHVE on July 1, 1995,[4] just after it was acquired by its current owner, Shoreline Communications.[1]
It first broadcast a hot country format upon signing on. The station switched to its current Adult contemporary format sometime in 1998-99, and stayed with that format to this day.[1]
