The station first signed on the air as WLOC-FM on August 1, 1964.[2] The station initially simulcast programming from its then-AM sister station WLOC (1150 kHz). On April 2, 1979, it began broadcasting a Variety format, featuring a mix of country and adult contemporary music. The station became solely a Hot AC-formatted station when the callsign became WMCC on January 30, 1996.[3] It was acquired by Jacor in 1997. The station changed its call sign to WCLU-FM in May 1998, two months after being acquired by its current owner, Royse Radio, Inc., to match that of Glasgow-based sister station WCLU. The adult contemporary format remained with the station.
On April 1, 2021, WCLU-FM rebranded as "Beaver 102.3/98.5" and changed its call sign to WBVA, using similar imaging to Forever Communications's WBVR-FM (96.7 MHz) in Bowling Green.
On February 1, 2022, the station changed its call sign to WLLI. On February 4, 2022, WLLI changed its format from country to a simulcast of classic country-formatted WLYE-FM (94.1 MHz) in Glasgow, branded as "Willie Country".[4]
