History:: WVOB (Voice of Bethany) signed on in October 1989, put on the air by Bethany Bible College. The station signed on from a tower off Southgate Road south of Ross Clark Circle, with 2.5 kW.

In March 2019 the station received a permit to move to a tower on Cowarts Road, where WAGF-FM is located. The move comes with a slight decrease in antenna height, but the same power.

In June 2022, the station filed a second Construction Permit with the same technical details as the previous one, only with slightly changed coordinates. In early July 2022, the station filed a Silent STA (Special Temporary Authority) citing loss of tower site and lack of finances. In September 2022, they renewed the Silent STA and also concurrently filed a modification to the Construction Permit, changing from the WAGF-FM tower to the WESP tower off Ross Clark Circle on the southwestern side of Dothan.
