History.
The station began broadcasting on September 16, 1966, running 250 watts during daytime hours only. The station was originally owned by Tilton Publications. In 1970, the station was sold to Rochelle Broadcasting Company for $130,000. In 1994, the station added nighttime operations, running 20 watts. In 1995, the station's nighttime power was increased to 50 watts.
In 1996, the station switched from country music programming to a talk format. The station was branded "Newstalk 1060 WRHL". On December 28, 2016, after stunting with Christmas music throughout most of the month as "Santa 1060", WRHL flipped to oldies as "Good Time Oldies 1060". The station is retaining its news elements including its full service morning show hosted by Jeff Leon along with Fox Newscasts & Fox News Updates. Kris Wexell is Program Director & Operations Manager. WRHL airs Chicago Bears, Chicago Bulls, and Chicago White Sox Sports. As of 1/5/18 WRHL held a construction permit for a 250 watt FM translator station, W228DT 93.5 MHz.
On February 12, 2020, the AM (and FM simulcast) flipped to a Classic Hits format of music from the late 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. They kept their on-air staff and branded themselves as "Superhits 93.5". This was the first time that their FM translator was ever promoted, and, furthermore, the station no longer references their AM station except for the top of the hour identification and is no longer an affiliate of the Chicago Bulls or Chicago White Sox. Under Program Director & Operations Manager Kris Wexell, SuperHits 93.5 has a live morning show with Chuck O'Brien, mid-days with Susan Tyler afternoons include Rick Dees evenings with Kid Kelly and overnights with Tom Kent.
