In December 1961, WLRT first [signed on](/source/Sign-on) as WNVL.[2] It was originally a [daytimer](/source/Daytimer), required to be off the air at night, so it would not interfere with other stations on [AM 1250](/source/AM_1250). In the 1990s, WNVL got permission to broadcast at low power after sunset.

On June 15, 2019, WLRT rebranded as "La Explosiva 1250".
