It is owned by the Family Life Network but has been mothballed since September 2021, with its long-term future uncertain due to ownership limits and a consolidated media scene in the western Twin Tiers.
It was the sister station to WFRM (600 AM), owned by the Farm & Home Broadcasting Company and was a member of the Allegany Mountain Radio Network.
In 2008, the owners asked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to allow the city of license to be changed to Portville, New York.
Backyard Broadcasting, owners of market leader WPIG, offered to buy the station, though the purchase eventually fell through.
When WBYB moved to Eldred, it broke off from its simulcast and reverted to country music, a format that 103.9 had carried for nearly 30 years in Kane under the call sign WLMI.
[4] One month after the change, on April 24, 2018, Colonial announced it had sold the station, along with WXMT and WVTT-FM, to Rick Freeman in a deal involving cash and cryptocurrency.
As part of a deal consummated in December 2018, the station adopted the WAGL call sign and the broader country format that was on 103.9 in March 2019.
With WXMT being spun off to Bob Lowe in November, WAGL was Colonial's last broadcasting asset north of the Carolinas.
In October 2020, Andrulonis officially exited the Twin Tiers market by agreeing to sell WUDE and three translators to WPIG's owner Seven Mountains Media, ending a rivalry between the two companies that had lasted over a decade.
As part of the divestiture, WUDE was sold to the Family Life Network effective June 1, 2021, and relocated to Bradford, Pennsylvania, as WCOR-FM.
The Olean media market was delisted from Nielsen when Seven Mountains made its acquisitions in 2021, changing the rules for how ownership limits are calculated for the area and allowing Family Life to keep more of their signals.
