Much of the WKLX airstaff (like Claude Sullivan and Artie Kay) went to WVLK.

James Narz, who later became famed game show host Tom Kennedy, worked at WKLX in 1948.

In the early-1970s, WBLG was an affiliate of the Chicago Cubs Radio Network.

In 1986, country music gave way to oldies and the calls were changed to WLXG.

In the mid-2000s, WLXG picked up a sports talk format and became affiliated with ESPN Radio.
