In 1997, WHLX was flipped to a Modern AC—WZNE—THE ZONE, a Hit based Alternative Pop station programmed by Doug Daniels.
Beginning in 2001, the station changed call letters to WVKF and become KISS FM remaining CHR.
After Kiss-FM moved, 105.5 flipped to Classic Hits as "Kool 105.5" under the WUKL call sign.
On August 12, 2021, the station cluster was sold by Forever Media to Cody Barack's Ohio Midland Newsgroup, LLC.
