History
editThe construction permit for this facility was obtained by Smile FM, a regional contemporary Christian music network, and traded to Mentor Partners in 2025 in exchange for Mentor-owned translator W256CC, which rebroadcast an HD Radio subchannel of WWBR. The station went on the air September 7, 2025, and absorbed the translator's former Rewind brand and classic rock format.[2]
