The station is owned by WHYL, Inc., and broadcasts an oldies music format. WHYL programming is simulcast on FM translator W275CJ licensed to serve Carlisle. The translator is located on Blue Mountain northeast of Carlisle[1] at ({{coord|40|17|23.0|N|77|08|9.0|W}}).[2] Signal coverage and power levelsThe current AM antenna is a single element located on the tower with WCAT-FM "Red 102.3". It is a temporary antenna. The station is operating on an FCC Special Temporary Authorization (STA) requested on December 19, 2014 and granted on March 10, 2015. The STA was extended on April 13, 2016, and will expire on October 13, 2016.[3] This allows operation at the station's daytime nondirectional (omnidirectional antenna) power of 1.3 kilowatts and a nighttime power of 22 watts - the request was for 27 watts and reduced by the FCC to 22.[4] As a Class D station, WHYL is required to lower its power at sunset and even lower during the nighttime because of skywave interference to co-channel stations. Between sunrise and sunset,[5] the station is permitted to operate at full power. This was reduced to 1.3 kw by the STA mentioned above. During months where sunrise happens later than 6:00AM local time, pre-sunrise authorization allows the station the raise its power to 500 watts beginning at 6:00AM. Post-sunset authorization allows the station to broadcast beyond sunset at a reduced power level in steps starting around 100 watts and ending up at night time power of 22.3 watts. HistoryThe station's was first license was granted on February 25, 1949, according to the FCC. By the 1950s, Richard Field Lewis Jr. (1907–1957) had added WLXW (AM) to the Richard Field Lewis Jr. Stations (later Mid Atlantic Network Inc.).[6][7][8] Note that the newspaper article Dated December 6, 1948 refutes the information from Fabulous Fifty web site dated 1967 which is the basis for most of the other information here. See the clips attached. According to them the station went on the air as WLXW on December 4, 1948 and one of its first broadcasts was Santa coming to Carlisle. The station operated out of the building just south of town along Rt 34. The directional array tower system that was used formed a dual lobe pattern extending East-West from around Morgantown to around Everett.[9] The owner was Col. Phillip Matthews, State Democratic (sic) chairman, and was placed in operation Saturday Morning. The 1000-watt station is operating daily from sunrise to sunset on a frequency of 1380 kHz. Jerry McDevitt, formerly of Altoona, was the manager of the station. The Rev. Harry Lee, Carlisle and Vincent Shafmeister, Camp Hill, a student at Dickinson College, were full-time announcers. Dave Taylor, also a Dickinson student was a part-time announcer. The station was located on the Mt. Holly Pike, one-fourth mile south of town. It was contained in a one-story structure, which has two studios, control room, newsroom with teletype, a record library and five offices. The 187-foot tower is at the same location. The station's original frequency and call sign was WLXW/1380 which was moved to WHYL/960 in the early fifties, approximately 1952 or 53.
As of January 1, 2014 the station was off the air and no carrier signal was being broadcast. The station had filed for bankruptcy in 2012. Longtime morning host Ben Barber left the station in late 2013, at which time other programs, including the John Tesh syndicated midday show, were also discontinued. The station broadcasts were fully automated after this, and there were some periods during which a carrier signal was broadcast without any programming. In June 2014, Harold Z. Swidler purchased the station, and will return it to the air as soon as possible.
