From 1971 to June 7, 2011, the 91.1 FM frequency was occupied byVanderbilt University'sWRVU, acollege radio station (the station changed its call sign to WFCL on June 1, 2011). The university's student communications division made the decision to sell the station, despite public outcry, because of declining student participation and the desire to establish an endowment fund for VU's other student media. Nashville Public Radio, which had long been exploring the possibility of making WPLN-FM a full-time news and talk outlet, decided to purchase WFCL for $3.35 million in order to air the station'sclassical music library. The FCC approved the purchase and license transfer on March 18, 2014, and the transaction was consummated on May 22, 2014.
On August 12, 2020, Nashville Public Radio announced its plans to move classical music programs to an HD subchannel ofWPLN-FM 90.3 and relaunch WFCL in the fall with an undefined "local music" format, which station officials claimed would generate additional financial resources for the group, especially to benefit WPLN-FM's planned expansion of its news operation.[3]
On October 2, 2020, the station changed its call sign to WNXP ahead of the flip. The new station is branded as "Nashville's Music Experience".[4] The new programming began on November 30.[5]
