History.
The station signed on as a translator for Liberty University's WRVL in 2004, on 96.1 MHz, using the callsign W241AP. In 2007, the station moved to Richmond and was reallocated to 106.1 MHz with 10 watts power, taking the callsign W295BF.
In April 2013, Liberty sold the station to Clear Channel Communications, which relocated the station to Midlothian and moved it back to 96.1 MHz with 145 watts power.
On April 15, 2013, Clear Channel debuted a satellite-fed classic rock format on the station. The branding, "96.1 The Planet", was designed to echo Cox Radio's long-time classic rock station, WKLR, which broadcasts a full-power signal at 96.5 MHz. WKLR had moved to a more current rock format as "Rock 96.5" by the time Clear Channel brought "96.1 The Planet" online.
As a translator is not legally permitted to originate its own programming, by U.S. Federal Communications Commission regulation, W241AP relays WRVQ-HD2.
The station resumed its original W241AP callsign on April 26, 2013.
On November 1, 2017, iHeartMedia announced that W241AP, along with all of their sister stations in Richmond and Chattanooga, will be sold to Entercom due to that company's merger with CBS Radio. The sale was completed on December 19, 2017.
On January 1, 2018 W241AP changed their format from classic rock to a simulcast of news/talk-formatted WRVA (1140).
