History
The station signed on in 1971, as a sister station to WRAR-AM, and has been a contemporary music station since its beginning. The station used live air personalities during the 1970s and 1980s, but relied on syndicated programming during the 1990s. In the last several years, the station has returned to the use of live local announcers once again.
