[edit] History
WRNN signed on at 94.5 FM in the mid-90s as WKOA, with an oldies format, later switching to the WRNN letters and a talk format.
Around the same time, WMYB signed on at 99.5 FM stunting with classic country. WMYB changed to 70s music, and later to adult contemporary. When Next Media bought the stations in 2000, they traded frequencies because 99.5 FM had a stronger signal, though WMYB moved to 92.1 soon after that.
