WVKL, 95-7 R&B is a Urban AC outlet serving the Hampton Roads region. The station is a part of Entercom's cluster in the Norfolk/Virginia Beach market and is licensed to Norfolk, Virginia.
Flipped from oldies to urban AC at 11:35AM on January 9, 2001. Their direct competition is 'Vibe 105' WSVY since 'Soul Classics 92.9' blew-up their format in December 2001. This station came on in 1961 as WTAR-FM, but there was briefly another WTAR-FM in the early 50s on 96.3. Used to be AC 'Y-96' WLTY, which stood for "We Listen To You." That was dumped for Oldies 95.7 WLTY (May 1989) which 16 months later would be known as WVCL 'Cool 95.7'. 'Cool 105.3' was born the same week as Oldies 95.7. 95.7 won the oldies war. The station kept the WLTY call letters and the "Oldies 95.7" moniker until about 1997-ish, when they switched the name to "Cool 95" as WVCL as part of Barnstable. The station was swapped to Entercom (in exchange for WFOG 92.9), and Entercom changed the name to "Kool 95.7" and the call letters to WVKL. Earlier it also used to be WKEZ with an easy listening format.
