Station Swap and Sale
All Access reported on September 20, 2007, that Todd P. Robinson, Inc.'s WKCJ (now WVBB) would be swapped to Radio Greenbrier, Inc. for WRON-FM. This took place on August 1, 2008. WKCJ (now at 97.7) applied to move south to Elliston-Lafayette, Virginia (which is between Roanoke and Christiansburg).
The swap ensured that when Todd P. Robinson, Inc. moves the 97.7 frequency, WRON-FM will continue to have an FM station serving Greenbrier County, West Virginia.
On Wednesday, July 13, 2011, Roanoke, Virginia based Mel Wheeler, Inc. agreed to purchase the station for $675,000. A new application was filed to move the signal to Elliston-Lafayette, on Fort Lewis Mountain, broadcasting 260 watts, but from a height of 1542 feet.
On December 2, 2011, Mel Wheeler, Inc. took ownership and control of WKCJ and began simulcasting Lynchburg based WVBE-FM. On December 9, 2011, the callsign was changed to WVBB.
