    The station signed on the air on December 4, 1964; 59 years ago (1964-12-04). Its original call sign was WSIV-FM, a sister station to WSIV 1140 AM. That station is now WVEL. WSIV-FM broadcast on 95.3 MHz, later moving to 95.5 MHz.

    The station was assigned the WGLO call sign by the Federal Communications Commission on January 2, 1979.[1]

    The station featured an easy listening format prior to the switch to classic rock in 1998. Before being acquired by Cumulus Media in 2012, WGLO was owned by Townsquare Media.[4]
