Gospel Opportunities, Incorporated was formed in 1975 to provide religious radio programming in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. WHWL became its first station when it went on the air in April 1976. WHWL is a Christian station with a focus on Bible teaching programs and traditional, conservative music. Their current station manager, Andy Larsen, has been in the position since 2016 when he took over for the late Curt Marker. The station usually has between 8-10 on-air radio personalities, highlighted by Kathy Kantola who runs the children's storytime program "Kathy's Kids Korner" weekdays from 1:30-4pm.
