WERK was the first commercial station in east-central Indiana with a Top 40 format, and for many years competed with WHUT (1470 AM) in Anderson, WGOM (860 AM) in Marion, and with WHON (930 AM) in Richmond.
[3] The station was sold in 1991 from James Beatty to American Hometown Radio Corporation alongside WOKZ (104.9 FM).
[5] In 1999, Dream Weaver donated the license to Electronic Applications Radio Service, a nonprofit organization,[6] but did not include the 90-acre (36 ha) transmitter facility.
As a result, EARS reactivated the station by means of an STA (special temporary authority) granted by the FCC, returning to the air as WLHN with 67 watts.
Effective November 2, 2023, the Federal Communications Commission cancelled WNAP's license, due to it having been silent since at least July 30, 2022.
