WLIE 540 AM (formerly WBIC, then WLUX) has had a long history on the bottom end of the AM dial. During its early years, it was a daytime-only station. Starting in the 1980s, it was permitted to broadcast after dark, at a reduced power. Recently it was a talk radio and then a business talk radio station. As of early 2007, it is now airing religious programming in Spanish.
The station is being operated by Principal Broadcasting Network under a LMA from Long Island Multimedia in anticipation of a $14 million purchase. [1]
