History

This station received its original construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission on May 23, 2008. [3] Before it went on the air, it was given the call sign KCFF by the FCC on February 6, 2009. [4] This assignment, likely by accident, made KCFF the only call sign beginning with a "K" in the Commonwealth of Virginia and one of only a handful east of the Mississippi River. On October 15, 2009, KCFF became WVRI, under new ownership.

The station's construction permit was originally owned by Ron Elmore Ministries, Inc., but never made it to the airwaves. The construction permit and station license were sold to Liberty University in October 2009. It became a satellite broadcasting outlet for flagship station WRVL, when it signed on the air in 2011;12 years ago.
