## History

[edit]

The station was assigned the call letters WAEE on July 23, 1993; on March 18, 1994, the station changed its call sign to WEXP-FM.[4] The station signed on August 22, 1994, with an album-oriented rock and adult album alternative format under the ownership of UBC Inc.[5] and branded as "Experience 105.1".[6] After UBC ran into financial problems, Hall Communications, owner of WOKO and WJOY in Burlington, agreed to purchase WEXP-FM in February 1995 and assumed control on June 13, 1995;[6] on that date, the station was assigned its present WKOL call sign.[4] "Experience 105.1" programming ended on June 15, 1995;[6] on June 22, WKOL returned to the air as "Kool 105" with an oldies format.[7]
