WNOB began broadcasting in 1974 under the callsign WMYK, a nod to the then community of license Moyock, North Carolina, playing an album rock format.
This proved a very controversial move, as the staff was opposed to the idea of a former top-40 personality serving as the manager of an album rock station—at that time, FM album rock prided itself on being the antithesis of AM top 40 (Goodman, 1997, 206).
The studio and transmitter site were moved to a new facility on North Alvarado St. north of downtown L.A. At this time, it switched to a Top 40 format, then around 1972 went to an album rock format, designed by Bob Wilson, who would later launch the media magazine Radio & Records.

However, by 1981 WLRS was beaten by rival Album Rock station WQMF in the ratings and in 1984, the station switched to Top 40, adding pop and urban artists like Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston to its playlist (while still leaning toward Rock), to fill the void left when WKJJ abandoned Top 40 for Adult Contemporary in 1982 and WJYL dropped Top 40 for urban contemporary in 1984.
