It last broadcast an urban adult contemporary format, provided by ABC Radio Networks (The Touch, or "Today's R&B and Old School").

Owned by Midwest Communications, the station served the greater Kalamazoo, Michigan area.

Because the station was only licensed for daytime operation, the translator allowed "The Touch" programming to continue after WTOU signed off for the night.

This translator was formerly used to relay country sister station WNWN-FM based in Battle Creek, but when another sister station, 96.5 WFAT, was switched to country music as WYZO, W238AL changed its programming source from WNWN-FM to the then-WNWN.

On September 12, 2019, sister station 930 AM WTOU (now WFAT) in Battle Creek and FM translator W274AQ broke away from the simulcast and flipped to classic hits.
