In the early part of 2012, WNVA dropped their Classic Country for Sports with programming from ESPN Radio.
Radio-Wise sold WNVA and sister station WNVA-FM to Bristol Broadcasting Company for $35,000, enough to settle property tax debts and outstanding FCC fines; the sale closed on January 16, 2015.
On April 5, 2016 WNVA was granted a Federal Communications Commission construction permit to move to a new transmitter site. Instead of using a conventional steel vertical radiator used by most stations it would use an 85-foot whip antenna. The steel vertical radiator currently in use is 360 feet.External Links
