History
edit
WRIC-FM was originally on 100.7 FM, but switched frequencies with sister station WMJD in Grundy, Virginia, in 2005.
The WRIC calls were originally parked at AM 540 in Richlands, now WGTH.
In April 2009, WRIC-FM began simulcasting WSTG, located in Princeton, West Virginia, which carries a hot adult contemporary format. Around the same time, WRIC-FM's ownership changed from Peggy Sue Broadcasting Corporation to RR & WT Broadcasting, Inc.
