The station was assigned call sign WIXO-FM on February 15, 1979. On May 4, 1979, the station changed its call sign to WIXO then again on September 8, 1981, to the current WAKH.,[2]
On September 21, 2011, Charles W. Dowdy, acting as the sole owner of license holder Southwest Broadcasting, Inc., dissolved the corporation and assigned the broadcast licenses it held (WAKH plus sister stations WAKK, WAPF, WAZA, WFCG, WJSH, WKJN, and WTGG) to himself acting as debtor in possession before initiating a Chapter 11 bankruptcy.[3] The FCC approved the license transfer on December 19, 2011.[4]
