History

The station was originally assigned the call sign WCEE-LP on June 18, 2002. On March 31, 2005, the station changed its call sign to WGRZ-LP. On March 12, 2007, it changed again to WGRV-LP. [3]

As of March 25, 2013, the station went off the air and had filed for special temporary authority to remain dark for six months. As of November 9, 2013, WGRV-LP remained silent, with no immediate plans to resume broadcasting. The station was listed in the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) database as "licensed and silent". [4] According to a message on the station's web site, the station was off the air indefinitely due to life changes and health issues among the station's key staff.

WGRV-LP's call sign was deleted and its license cancelled by the FCC on June 24, 2014. The record can be viewed using the FCC's CDBS station search tool using the call letters DWGRV-LP. The "D" at the front stands for "deleted". The FM translators that were part of the network are still licensed, but since they have also been silent for more than a year, the law requires that the FCC delete them as well unless they have switched inputs and are rebroadcasting another station.

Awards

The station was nominated for the Smooth Jazz Radio Station Of The Year by Radio and Records magazine in 2006 and 2007. [5] [6]
