Call sign history
The station was assigned the call sign WKVO-FM in 1971, and was sold to MusicRadio, Inc. (a Maryland group) who changed the call sign to WMSQ in 1978. The station was a very valuable asset to the town of Havelock, N.C. and the nearby Marine Air Station at Cherry Point during several hurricanes in the 1980s. Havelock's business "golden age" peaked during the station's successful years from 1979 to 1990, partly due to the community involvement of station management and personalities. Arbitron ratings consistently saw the small station competing with much more powerful FM stations in nearby New Bern and Washington, N.C. On August 15, 1996, the station changed its call sign to WANG; on January 22, 1999 to WANG-FM; on April 11, 2005 to WKOO; on June 21, 2005 to WSSM; on March 10, 2008 to WRQR, then back to WSSM. On May 27, 2010, the call sign was changed to WLVG.

On April 16, 2018, the station changed its call sign to WHAR.

On March 28, 2024, the station changed its call sign to WBKZ.
