[edit]

The stationsigned on the air in 1983; 42 years ago (1983). Its originalcall sign was WRON-FM.

All Access reported on September 20, 2007 that Todd P. Robinson, Inc.'s WKCJ would be swapped to Radio Greenbrier, Inc. forWRON-FM (now on 103.1). The swap took place on August 1, 2008. WKCJ applied to move itscity of license south to Elliston-Lafayette, and put itstower onFort Lewis Mountain, about 10 miles east of Roanoke.

The swap ensured that when Todd P. Robinson, Inc. moved the 97.7 frequency, WRON-FM 103.1 would continue to serveGreenbrier County, West Virginia.
