Owner:
Broadcast One, Inc.

History:
The company LAWCO FM, Inc. was granted an original construction permit for this station in 1991, and signed it on in 1992, as a class A FM companion to their AM, WHIY.  The original calls were WXKI, and it simulcast the AM's mix of Classic and Contemporary Country music.  The transmitter site was located on the northeast side of Moulton to better reach the larger Decatur market. 

The station was sold to husband and wife insurance team Hundley Batts Sr. and Virginia Caples in 1999 for $775,000, along with the sister AM.  They flipped both stations, and this one took on the heritage WEUP-FM calls and
Hip-Hop format from AM 1600 in Huntsville. 

In 2000, the station signed on an upgraded, bigger signal from the present-day tower site southeast of Moulton.  Marketed as "103-EUP" the station simulcast with several other Tennessee Valley AM and FM signals to fully reach the entire Huntsville market. 


Long owned by Huntsville insurance team Hundley Batts, Sr. and Virginia Caples, ownership was transferred to their company, Broadcast One, Inc., in March 2019 after the death of Caples.

Both WEUP and WEUP-FM were taken off the air in August 2026 due to storm damage, however neither station filed the required Silent STA notices with the FCC so it went unnoticed until mid-September 2026 when local TV news reported the long-term outage (story linked above).  Later it was confirmed that the stations are technically on the air, just with no programming, only dead air.  On 14 September 2026 it was noted the station had finally been taken completely off the air.
